title: Cannot change android Switch style when using Holo Everywhere
body: <p>I am having trouble changing the style of a Switch view in my project and can't figure out what I am doing wrong or missing... My project uses holo everywhere.</p>
  
  <p>I can't change the text, the thumb or the track. I've tried applying android:thumb and android:track drawables directly from the xml but nothing changes. Not even the android:textOff and android:textOn have any effect. </p>
  
  <p>I found a great post on how to customise the android Switch view style and looked through all the code but couldn't find anything I was doing wrong:
  <a href="http://custom-android-dn.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/how-to-use-and-custom-switch-in-android.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://custom-android-dn.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/how-to-use-and-custom-switch-in-android.html</a></p>
  
  <p>Really not sure what else to try.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the xml code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;Switch
          android:id="@+id/home_availability_switch"
          style="@style/MySwitch"
          android:layout_width="wrap_content"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
          android:layout_centerVertical="true"
          android:enabled="true"
          android:focusable="true"
          android:textOff="Free"
          android:textOn="Busy" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here is the style:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;style name="MySwitch" parent="@style/Holo.Switch.Light"&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:thumb"&gt;@drawable/selector_availability_switch_thumb&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:track"&gt;@drawable/selector_availability_switch_background&lt;/item&gt;
  &lt;/style&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here is the thumb selector 
  (these are default system drawables. i have tried with different drawables):
  </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;item android:drawable="@drawable/switch_thumb_pressed_holo_light" android:state_pressed="true"/&gt;
  &lt;item android:drawable="@drawable/switch_thumb_activated_holo_light" android:state_checked="true"/&gt;
  &lt;item android:drawable="@drawable/switch_thumb_disabled_holo_light" android:state_enabled="false"/&gt;
  &lt;item android:drawable="@drawable/switch_thumb_holo_dark"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p></p>
  
  <p>Here is the track selector 
  (these are default system drawables. i have tried with different drawables):</p>
  
  <p></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;item android:drawable="@drawable/switch_bg_disabled_holo_dark" android:state_enabled="false"/&gt;
  &lt;item android:drawable="@drawable/switch_bg_focused_holo_dark" android:state_focused="true"/&gt;
  &lt;item android:drawable="@drawable/switch_bg_holo_dark"/&gt;
  </code></pre>

  <p>I also found this post <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10118050/how-can-i-style-an-android-switch">How can I style an Android Switch?</a> and follow the instructions but had no luck. </p>
  
  <p>Any one else had a similar experience when using Holo Everywhere?</p>
