I'm using a AppCompatPreferenceActivity that uses a PreferenceActivity simplified UI for phones (no fragments), but a two-pane UI with PreferenceFragment when it's a tablet.

Until now, I used only a light theme (my theme's parent is Theme.AppCompat.Light) and no problem, it looks like this when in two-pane mode:

I'm now implementing a dark theme, so this time, my theme's parent is "Theme.AppCompat".

And it looks like this:

As you can see, the title of the preference fragment is black on a dark grey background. How can I set this "title" color?

Note: on Pre-Lollipop, it was easy, we would just have to att that to the preference activity theme:

```
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#AAAAAA</item>

```

... but it doesn't work anymore on Lollipop and Marshmallow.

Any idea?
