I'd like to customize the way the current (open)
section is displayed in the toc. I've searched in
this list but I didn't manage to find a solution.

The available macros \pd@tocXXX (section 9.6 in
the documentation) do not seem to permit this.

You mean that \pd@tocsection cannot know if it is the current one or
not. You can, but you need a good look at the source.

So, \pd@tocsection is used for sections, \pd@tochighlight for an
open/active item, but irrespective whether it is a slide or a section.
So, I understand that inside \pd@tochighlight, you want to know
whether it is a section or not, so you can adjust the highlighting
sections and slides.
\@tempcntb is used to count the sections in the toc file.
\c@pd@section is used to count the sections in the presentation.

If they are equal, you have the active section. That's how
\pd@pdcontentsline knows what to do. So use an \ifnum and that will
help you.

Good luck, best,
-Hendri.
