title: How to change the title text color and the color of the background on the ActionBar?
body: <p>Here's my styles.xml file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;resources&gt;
  
      &lt;!--
          Base application theme, dependent on API level. This theme is replaced
          by AppBaseTheme from res/values-vXX/styles.xml on newer devices.
      --&gt;
      &lt;style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Light"&gt;
          &lt;!--
              Theme customizations available in newer API levels can go in
              res/values-vXX/styles.xml, while customizations related to
              backward-compatibility can go here.
          --&gt;
      &lt;/style&gt;
  
      &lt;!-- Application theme. --&gt;
      &lt;style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme"&gt;
          &lt;!-- All customizations that are NOT specific to a particular API-level can go here. --&gt;
      &lt;/style&gt;
  
      &lt;style name="MyCustomTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light"&gt;
          &lt;item name="android:actionBarStyle"&gt;@style/MyActionBarTheme&lt;/item&gt;
          &lt;item name="android:actionMenuTextColor"&gt;@style/TitleBarTextColor&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;/style&gt;
  
      &lt;style name="MyActionBarTheme" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar"&gt;
          &lt;item name="android:background"&gt;#060EBB&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;/style&gt;
  
      &lt;style name="MyActionBarTitleText"
             parent="@style/TextAppearance.Holo.Widget.ActionBar.Title"&gt;
          &lt;item name="android:textColor"&gt;#00B300&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;/style&gt;
  
       &lt;style name="TitleBarTextColor" parent="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title"&gt;
          &lt;item name="android:textColor"&gt;#00B300&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;/style&gt;
  
  
  
  &lt;/resources&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here's my manifest file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;application
          android:allowBackup="true"
          android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
          android:label="@string/app_name"
          android:theme="@style/MyCustomTheme" &gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The background of the ActionBar is changing color the way I want it to, but the text itself isn't. What am I doing wrong? Oh, and some explanation of the way styles.xml works within Android would be nice too. It seems to be very confusing. </p>
