Make tabs for modified files more visible?

#1

In Sublime Text 3 build 3128 using Solarized Light theme on a Mac, modified files are identified by a thin blue bar across the top of the tab. I find the line hard to see and was wondering if there is any way I can make modified files more visible (e.g. by changing the color of the bar to red or making it thicker, or showing the file name in red like older versions of ST or…?).

P.S. I’m on macOS 10.12.4 in case it matters. I have "highlight_modified_tabs": true, and don’t see any other obvious settings, though I suspect a theme setting might control the color of the bar across the top of the tab.

You can customize your color scheme and define an accent color. When none is set, we pick the closest color to HSL(198, 100, 50) - a blue.

See https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/color_schemes.html for docs about color schemes.

That did the trick. Thank you very much. By specifying an accent color I was able to make the tabs for modified files much more visible.

Details: I edited Packages/User/Solarized (Light) (SL).tmTheme and specified accent in the same block as background. I chose a value of #E000E0 as being bright without looking like an error.
