Using the Standalone toolbar has an issue with the select able background of the items, following this article didn't work also:

Check the normal toolbar in the below screenshot, the ripple effect selector is gone when using the standalone toolbar.

here is my style:

```
 <style name="ToolbarTheme" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Toolbar">
        <item name="actionMenuTextColor">@color/green</item>
        <item name="drawerArrowStyle">@style/DrawerArrowToggle</item>
        <item name="colorControlNormal">@color/white</item>
        <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/white</item>
        <item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/white</item>
        <item name="titleTextAppearance">@style/ActionBar.TitleText</item>
        <item name="android:actionOverflowButtonStyle">@style/MoreActionButton</item>
        <item name="actionButtonStyle">@style/Widget.AppCompat.ActionButton</item>
        <item name="selectableItemBackground">?android:selectableItemBackground</item>
        <item name="selectableItemBackgroundBorderless">?android:selectableItemBackground</item>
        <item name="colorControlHighlight">@color/accentColor</item>
    </style>

```

**EDIT:**
After isolating the issue from my code I was able to reproduce the issue and it seems it is related to the new support design library. And here is the test code that has the issue:
