Customisation

The command is a simple wrapper for the shiny output and you can easily specify your own favorite gif (say nyancat.gif) for customisation. Place nyancat.gif in the folder www within your shiny app folder (create one if you don't have it in your shiny folder).

withLoader(plotOutput("distPlot"), type="image", loader="nyancat.gif")

You can also further customise by inputting your own text as a marquee object with its own style.
