How to change only the color of the current line in Monokai theme

[rogeriodec]

I use the default Monokai theme.
I’m happy with everything, but I just want to change the background color of the selected line.
I have tried several things. By creating a file “…\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\User\Monokai.sublime-color-scheme”, everything goes WHITE.

How to change only the color of the current line in Monokai theme?

The override file in the User folder is the correct approach. Are you sure that your file is valid JSON?

{
    "globals":  {
        "line_highlight": "magenta",
    }
}

And you need "highlight_line": true in your settings for it to work, of course.
