How to change Sublime Text 2 selected tab color

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]}
]
