how to apply spartan style in tcolorbox

Question

According to tcolorbox user manual, compilation time can benefit much from using spartan style. But it is not clear to me how to apply a style to the a concrete box, or to the whole document. Illustrative examples might help in doing so.

Answer 1

Just say \tcbset{spartan} to get all boxes using spartan or use it locally for particular boxes or in a \newtcolorbox definition (not shown here)

The spartan option is a skin actually, so \tcbuselibrary{skins} is necessary or \usepackage[skins]{tcolorbox} or \usepackage[most]{tcolorbox}.

In fact spartan is a wrapper for skin=spartan.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[most]{tcolorbox}


\tcbset{spartan}
\begin{document}

\begin{tcolorbox}
  Foo
\end{tcolorbox}


\begin{tcolorbox}[enhanced]
Foo
\end{tcolorbox}

\end{document}
