 - Title slide branding (ported from posterdown.ids): three new optional yaml entries -- `website` places a linked QR code (generated with the qrcode package) in the top left of the title slide; `partner_logo` shows a second institution's logo next to the IDS logo in the top right of every slide (for talks by authors from two institutions); `funder_logo` puts a funder logo in the bottom left of the title slide, opposite the Leibniz Gemeinschaft membership logo. Local logo files are embedded as data URIs, so they need not be shipped; a linked QR code anywhere on a slide can be produced with the new `qrlink()` function in inline R code. The navigation chrome (arrows, slide number, menu button) is now hidden on the title slide.
 
+- `ids` theme: all four title-slide corners now share one inset (8px to both slide edges), measured to the visible ink: IDS (plus partner) logo top right, website QR top left, funder logo bottom left, WGL membership logo bottom right. The funder logo previously sat 20px lower than intended (reveal.js' default image margin adds itself to the offset of an absolutely positioned image), and the QR sat a white plate's padding away from the corner.
+
+- `qrlink()`: the QR code svg now carries a viewBox and scales to the box it is placed in. Without one, a code sized down by CSS -- as on the title slide -- kept drawing at its full 300px and only its top left corner remained visible. The svg is cropped to the code's dark modules, so its quiet zone comes from the surrounding layout (the white plate behind the title slide's code, and `padding` on `a.qrcode` elsewhere).
+
 - New `df_print` option (default `"kable"`): data frames are now printed as theme-styled HTML tables by default, so raw results on slides look reasonable without extra code. Use `df_print: default` for plain text output (or `tibble` / `paged` as in `rmarkdown::html_document`); `"kable"` prints all rows, so show only `head(x)` on slides with many-rowed results.
 
 - New transcript view, toggled with `r` (or, on touch devices, with a list button next to the speaker notes button): a single scrollable page containing every slide's content and speaker notes. Text-to-speech ("read aloud") browser extensions cannot walk a reveal.js deck (hidden slides are not part of the visible page text), but they can read the transcript from start to finish -- e.g. to have the whole talk including notes read aloud while practicing.
