In the tcolorbox manual we see the following toc format
I would like to reproduce it however I have no idea how to do it. I don't even know where to begin from. I am not familiar with the packages presented in the tcolorbox manual.
I would appreciate your help.
The ToC style presented in tcolorbox manual is written in tcolorbox.doc.abtract.tex which can be found in the documentation directory of tcolorbox, i.e. on my personal computer the path for TL 2017 is
/usr/local/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/doc/latex/tcolorbox
I've copied the code from there and wrapped a small document around it.
Basically, the settings are just tcolorbox 'standards', then use \@starttoc{toc} in order to load the contents of \jobname.toc, as is done basically in any \tableofcontents macro.
The file goldshade.png is shipped with the tcolorbox package
