How to change Sublime Text 2 selected tab color

Question

I like the Sublime Text 2 default color scheme Monokai alot. The only problem is the tab colors, the selected tabs and the rest of the tabs all look the sam

Answer 1

You need to dig pretty deep into theme customization to do that:

Since your theme is Monokai (medium-dark) go to "Packages/Theme - Default/Default.sublime-theme"

From lines 528 to 531 are your answers...

Either you hack by changing tint_modifier or layer2.opacity

OR

You go right at "medium_dark_unselected_tab_bg2.png" and try changing it by "light_unselected_tab_bg2.png" for example.

Either way I recommend you using Soda Theme! A really great and easily configurable theme too!
