How can I edit VS Code settings so that the tabs of modified files are highlighted?
In Sublime, this was supported by changing
"highlight_modified_tabs": true,
under Preferences | Settings. How can I get this in Visual Studio Code?

Well this isn't the best answer, but I ended up hacking one of vscode's core css files:
/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/vs/workbench/electron-browser/workbench.main.css
I'm not sure where this file will exist on other platforms.
I put this css at the bottom of the file:
.tab.dirty .label-name {
color: #ffcc66;
}
Restart VSCode after this. It will complain at you saying the install is corrupt... but just click ignore and don't notify me. I'm pretty frustrated that I couldn't find a better solution, but it works...

Any updates on this? Its kinda ok as a workaround, but I have to redo every time an autoupdate comes down. Can it go into a theme or something?

It is not much of a change though.
With these colorCustomizations:

"tab.unfocusedActiveModifiedBorder": "#ff0000",
"tab.unfocusedInactiveModifiedBorder": "#ff0000",
