title: How do I change the background color on a shiny dashboard in R
body: <p>I love the new shiny dashboard package in R. I am trying to customize the appearance and its proving difficult. I want to change the background color of the app to white. </p>
  
  <p>Here is what I have done.</p>
  
  <p>I have added a custom.css file to a www directory. 
  It has this code.</p>
  
  <pre><code>body &gt; .content-wrapper .right-side {
      background-color: #ffffff;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have successfully changed the title font with the example <a href="http://rstudio.github.io/shinydashboard/appearance.html#css" rel="noreferrer">here</a> so I know that my css file is working. </p>
  
  <p>I have also used inspect element to find the color in the css and changed it successfully from the developer console.</p>
  
  <p>However the background color will not change when I set the color in my css file. </p>
