    class TabBarExample extends StatefulWidget {
      @override
      _TabBarExampleState createState() => _TabBarExampleState();
    }
    
    class _TabBarExampleState extends State<TabBarExample>
        with SingleTickerProviderStateMixin {
      // Define a tab controller object
      TabController _tabController;
    
      @override
      void initState() {
        _tabController = TabController(length: 3, vsync: this);
        super.initState();
      }
    
      @override
      Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        return Scaffold(
          body: Center(
            child: Container(
              color: Colors.grey[300],
              child: TabBar(
                controller: _tabController,
                indicatorColor: Colors.transparent,
                labelColor: Colors.pink,
                unselectedLabelColor: Colors.grey,
                labelStyle: TextStyle(
                  fontSize: 16,
                ),
                unselectedLabelStyle: TextStyle(
                  fontSize: 16,
                ),
                indicator: BoxDecoration(
                  color: Colors.white,
                ),
                tabs: <Widget>[
                  Tab(
                    child: Column(
                      mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
                      children: <Widget>[
                        Text('STEP 1'),
                        Text(
                          'Investment',
                          style: TextStyle(
                            fontSize: 12,
                          ),
                        ),
                      ],
                    ),
                  ),
                  Tab(
                    child: Column(
                      mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
                      children: <Widget>[
                        Text('STEP 2'),
                        Text(
                          'Investment',
                          style: TextStyle(fontSize: 12),
                        ),
                      ],
                    ),
                  ),
                  Tab(
                    child: Column(
                      mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
                      children: <Widget>[
                        Text('STEP 3'),
                        Text(
                          'Investment',
                          style: TextStyle(fontSize: 12),
                        ),
                      ],
                    ),
                  ),
                ],
              ),
            ),
          ),
        );
