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 same (almost). How can I change only the selected tab color for this theme.

This is the best solution I have found: https://coderwall.com/p/jg4kog

1. Inside of Sublime Text go to Preferences > Browse packages

2. Navigate to the User folder.

3. There you create a file called Default.sublime-theme

4. Open that file in Sublime Text and copy and paste the following JSON object:

.

[    {"class": "tab_control", "attributes": ["selected", "file_medium_dark"],"tint_modifier":[255, 255, 255, 80]} ]
