For Sublime Text 3 users: As of the official Sublime Text official 3.0 update, this has changed just a little bit.

This SO post in addition to some help from This Sublime Text Forum Post led me to add this code snippet to the "Packages/Theme - Default/Default.sublime-theme" or to "Packages/User/Default.sublime-theme"
// Selected Tabs { "class": "tab_control", "attributes": ["selected"], "tint_modifier": [0, 255, 0, 40], //RGBA value - makes my selected tab a deep green "layer1.opacity": 1.0, },

Here you can find more details on the Sublime Text 3 documentation site for themes
