Can’t seem to style the ActionMode background.

I’ve already overridden actionbar background but setting the ActionMode background doesn’t seem to work:

<style name="Theme.apptheme" parent="@style/Theme.Sherlock.Light.DarkActionBar">

...

<item name="actionBarStyle">@style/Widget.Styled.ActionBar</item>

<item name="actionModeBackground">@drawable/actionmode_background</item>
<item name="actionModeSplitBackground">@drawable/actionmode_split</item>

...

</style>

Any idea how to accomplish this?

    You’re likely testing on ICS or JB, and therefore will not see any difference. You must also include these tags using the android: namespace.

    E.g.

    <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/Widget.Styled.ActionBar</item>

<item name="android:actionModeBackground">@drawable/actionmode_background</item>
<item name="android:actionModeSplitBackground">@drawable/actionmode_split</item>
