Making two sided Pretty PDFs with Quarto

Question

(Disclaimer: I borrowed the most code from Making Pretty PDFs with Quarto.)

My code works fine with classoption: [oneside] but have issues with classoption: [twoside].

How can I correctly render it?

You could test for the page to be even or odd and place your blue bar accordingly:

\makeatletter
\AddToShipoutPicture{%
\if@twoside
\ifodd\c@page
    \AtPageLowerLeft{%
        \put(\LenToUnit{\dimexpr\paperwidth-3cm},0){%
            \color{light}\rule{3cm}{\LenToUnit\paperheight}%
          }%
     }%
\else
    \AtPageLowerLeft{%
        \put(\LenToUnit{0cm},0){%
            \color{light}\rule{3cm}{\LenToUnit\paperheight}%
          }%
     }%
\fi
\else
    \AtPageLowerLeft{%
        \put(\LenToUnit{\dimexpr\paperwidth-3cm},0){%
            \color{light}\rule{3cm}{\LenToUnit\paperheight}%
          }%
     }%
\fi
}
\makeatother
