Yeah, that's right.

Unfortunately, although I thought I had it all worked out - having the `highlight_modified_tabs` rule in the theme caused new side effects for users with a fresh / reset ST2 install. For those users, the dirty file indicator would not show up at all regardless of the tab close button setting. This was because the `highlight_modified_tabs` setting has been removed from the base settings which meant it was always false.

I've had another crack at it though, and just committed a tweak that I think should so make it work for everyone's settings. Hopefully that'll be it ;)

It might be worth letting Jon know that there's a use case for keeping `highlight_modified_tabs` around. Although the setting is still working at the moment, he may be looking at turning it off completely if it's no longer in the base settings.
