I have been looking at https://rstudio.github.io/flexdashboard/articles/theme.html and like the idea of creating a custom theme. I'd rather not have to save a .css file in the same directory of my project, and thought that the idea of editing the theme would suit my preference, but I can't seem to get it to work.
Borrowing code from answers to similar questions:
Bootswatch theme in Shiny Flexdashboard R
and
Flexdashboard - themes and css
I produced:
---
title: "Test"
output:
flexdashboard::flex_dashboard:
theme: lumen
---
Column {data-width=650}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
### My Gauge
`r flexdashboard::gauge(15, min = 0, max = 50, href="#details")`
and this successfully knits with the theme. Looking at the code from the rstudio link above and tweaking as found below, however, fails to knit.

title: "Test"
output:
flexdashboard::flex_dashboard:
theme:
version: 4
bg: "#101010"
fg: "#FDF7F7"
primary: "#ED79F9"
base_font:
google: Prompt
code_font:
google: JetBrains Mono
vertical_layout: scroll
orientation: rows
---
Column {data-width=650}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
### My Gauge
`r flexdashboard::gauge(15, min = 0, max = 50, href="#details")`
This yields:
I've played with positioning, the order of theme,orientation, and vertical_layout, also placing font names in quotes, but to no avail. How can I adjust this so that the custom theming will work?
