Custom Theming

An R Shiny application for tracking your treats and exercises over the Christmas period. We created this app for our 2018 Christmas game and it shows how you can custom-theme sliders and other UI elements. It also demonstrates how you can blend in images based on reactive values and add hovers to it.

Our customisation

• Slider images
• Animated plots
• Themed loading spinners

As well as extending standard Shiny components like:

• Alerts and feedback
• Tooltips and modals

Slider images

Customise your slider markers by adding a custom background-image.

.irs-slider {
      background-image: url(../img/Icons/Exercise_presents.svg);
}

Animate plots

We use Plotly for our charts. Add CSS animations to bring them to life.

.trace.bars g.point path {
  transform: scaleX(0);
  animation: extend-bar 1s forwards ease;
}

Themed loading spinners

Listen out for the shiny-busy lifecycle event to add an overlay for when the app is loading. Shiny attaches a .shiny-busy class for this. We use Plotly for our charts. Add CSS animations to bring them to life.

.shiny-busy #loadingOverlay{
    opacity: 1;
    visibility: visible;
}
