Change representation (background-color & frame) of chunks in RMarkdown (with Beamer-Presentations)

Question

Background: I'm using the metropolis theme which slides background colour is the same as the default background colour of the displayed code in chunks in beamer.

Problem: I want to change the representation of the chunks output. There should be a different type of representation for source-code & results to distinguish them. The source-codes background should be in a slightly darker grey than the metropolis slides background and the results should be surrounded by a black line as a frame.

What I already tried: This threat answers my question for HTML-outputs (YAML: output: html_document), but I didn't figured out how to get it working in beamer_presentation.

This is my "minimal" working example:

The syntax `\tiny{...}` is wrong. Tiny is a switch and does not take an argument — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Oct 21 '21 at 19:43

you can change the colour of the code with \definecolor{shadecolor}{RGB}{148,248,248} (choose whatever colour you like)
adding a frame around the output is a bit more hacky. rmarkdown automatically loads all kinds of packages to format verbatim code, like the fancyverb package, but then it goes ahead and ignores them and uses the normal latex verbatim endvironment for the output. Makes no sense at all, but you can use this dirty hack to redefine the environment like this to use the fancyverb package which provides an option to add a frame:
```
\let\verbatim\undefined
\let\verbatimend\undefined
\DefineVerbatimEnvironment{verbatim}{Verbatim}{frame=single}
```
