How to hide divider between tabs? How to change the tab title color when selected or unselected?

Hello!

I'm making a tabbed app and I need to hide the divider between tabs (or to change its color) but I can't. How can I do it?

Also, I need to change the color of tab titles. Tried with no success...

This is how my styles.xml is right now:

<resources>
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light">
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/green</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/dark_green</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/white</item>
        <item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/white</item>

        <item name="android:textColor">@color/black</item>

        <item name="actionBarTabTextStyle">@style/CustomActionBarTabTextStyle</item>
    </style>

    <style name="CustomActionBarTabTextStyle" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/white</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">14dp</item>
        <item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
    </style>
</resources>

Thanks!
