BENEFIT:
I am building a larger set of menuItem and menuSubItems on the left margin. As my content on the right is growing, if I want to use the collapse button, I would still like to provide a visual context of the current menuItem / menuSubItem, ideally just to the right of the collapse button on the dashboardHeader. I wasn't considering placing this on the dashboardHeader to the left of the collapse, because when the left nav is displayed, it is redundant, and I would have to greatly widen the left nav. I am trying to save a larger % of area for the main, right side.
PRIORITY:
low or nice to have.
I am not a GUI designer - this could be against best practice. Or this may have other back end difficulties that don't make it practical to work on. Consider it a suggestion.
I realize https://github.com/rstudio/shinydashboard/issues/41 This limitation is mainly due to AdminLTE, perhaps a hack can be developed in a shinydashboardExtras package?
