Question

If you set your app’s theme to Holo.Light then you can get light popup menus, dark text, etc, which is what I want. However, my action bar is using a custom darker color and I want the overflow menu (dots) to go back to being white (as they are when you use Theme.Holo). What do I need to override in my theme to make that happen?

Answer 1

<style name="Theme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
    <item name="actionOverflowButtonStyle">@style/OverflowStyle</item>
</style

<style name="OverflowStyle" parent="@android:style/Widget.ActionButton.Overflow">
    <item name="android:src">@drawable/custom_asset</item>
</style>

Or use the dark action bar theme

<style name="Theme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar" />
