I've made a dashboard with shinydashboard and really like the ease of making a layout with the package! However, I'd like to use one of the themes from the shinythemes package.

Anyone know how to get shinythemes to work with shinydashboard?

 ui <- dashboardPage( theme = shinytheme("spacelab"),
 dashboardHeader(title = "I want this to look awesome!"),
 dashboardSidebar(sidebarMenu(

There is a package (dashboardthemes) that allows modifying shinydashboard themes. It is pretty straightforward to use but is still an early version.

Alternatively, if you want to try some new skins go for semantic.dashboard which offers Bootswatch and Semantic-UI themes.
