runGlassExample() with no argument lists all available apps. Source for each app lives under inst/examples/<name>/app.R in the package repository. Start with basic; reach for the others when the question is specific.

The apps

Example	What you learn	Launch
`basic`	The smallest complete app: tabs with Overview, Details, Extras, and Final panels	`runGlassExample("basic")`
`native-comparison`	glasstabs versus built-in Shiny controls, side by side, including a deliberately truncated selected label and live controls for width, tongue motion, labels, search focus, filled colors, and overflow tooltips	`runGlassExample("native-comparison")`
`server-select`	Server-side glass selects: bounded search over a large choice set	`runGlassExample("server-select")`
`bslib`	Integration with modern Bootstrap themes, with square corners	`runGlassExample("bslib")`
`bs4dash`	Dashboard layout integration	`runGlassExample("bs4dash")`
`dashboard`	A Store Analytics dashboard built with the widgets	`runGlassExample("dashboard")`
`indicators`	Indicator styles, vertical orientation, and automatic theming	`runGlassExample("indicators")`
`light-mode`	Light themes and long labels: a bright, everyday app showing adaptive dropdown sizing	`runGlassExample("light-mode")`
`theme-switcher`	Dynamic theming: one switch flips every select between dark and light, with long labels, wide text in a narrow phone frame, and a bottom-of-page dropdown that must flip above the field	`runGlassExample("theme-switcher")`
`connect-workflow`	A deployable Posit Connect workflow showing responsive layouts, keyboard and touch interaction, dynamic tabs, badges, themes, and the page wrapper	`runGlassExample("connect-workflow")`
`smoke-test`	A broad widget smoke test across Overview, Details, Admin, and Compare panels	`runGlassExample("smoke-test")`
`square-corners`	Square-corner styling as a smoke test	`runGlassExample("square-corners")`
`stress-test`	Diagnostic, not a starter template. Pushes both selects to their limits, including a 100,000-choice set and complex interaction scenarios — use it to check performance and edge cases, not to copy for ordinary apps	`runGlassExample("stress-test")`

Choosing one

First run: basic.
“Will it fit my dashboard?” bs4dash or bslib, then dashboard for a full-page example.
“Will it handle my data?” server-select for bounded search, stress-test for the upper limits (diagnostic only).
“Will it look right in light mode?” light-mode, then theme-switcher to watch one switch flip everything.
“Should I switch from native controls?” native-comparison.
“Will it deploy?” connect-workflow, plus the Posit Connect article.
