Quarto - Metropolis theme

As a fan of the Metropolis beamer theme (by Matthias Vogelsang) I’ve created a theme port for the use within {xaringan} a few years ago (pat-s/xaringan-metropolis). Fast-forward to today, quarto is the new kid on the block when it comes to presentations in R. Recently it was time for my first presentation in the quarto era and I used the opportunity to also create a theme port of the Metropolis theme for quarto.

Compared to the orignal {xaringan} port, I’ve tweaked a few things:

• background colors
• code highlighting
• border radius
• column background coloring
• default fonts

The code of the theme is hosted on Codeberg, a FOSS alternative to GitHub and GitLab:
