ActionBarSherlock溢出listview

Question

After integrating the ActionBarSherlock in my android app I noticed that the dropdown menu that drops when the user hits the overflow button differs between 2.* and 4.*.

I have successfully customize this dropdown menu for 2.* with the right colours, but the dropdown menu in 4.* is displayed with white color andblack text and nothing that I do seems to modify this menu.

Do I need to do anything special to customize this dropdown menu in 4.*? it is even possible?

Thanks

When you add a style for ABS, you must be sure to also include the proper Android tags. Eg

Not just

<item name="actionBarStyle">@style/ActionBar</item>

But

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

The former only controls ABS, and the library uses the standard Action Bar on 4.x.
