Description

The style for the title of a tab cannot be changed at the moment. It would be nice if we were able to highlight it the same way as we can do with the icon.

Research direction
Review the comments on the issue for any suggested implementation details. Examine the TabBar component in the repository to see how icon styling is achieved via props (e.g., selectedIconStyle). The goal is to add a similar prop for text color. Consider modifying the tab title rendering to accept a 'selectedTextStyle' prop. Also check if there are existing style customization patterns in the codebase.
