Style Inheritance with ActionBar Tab troubles
<p>Many of my questions about "styling" actionbar tabs were answered by adamp in this <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5353465/android-actionbar-tab-style-for-honeycomb">thread on tab style</a>, but I am still struggling with my arriving at the desired presentation.</p>

<p>Specifically, I am attempting to do what adamp suggested in the following fragment from my styles.xml file, but, I cannot get the inherited (Widget.holo.actionbar) feature of a light blue line to appear under the selected tab nor is there any indication of selection:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;style name="MyTheme" parent="android:style/Theme.Holo"&gt;
    &lt;item name="android:actionBarStyle"&gt;@style/CustomActionBar&lt;/item&gt;
&lt;/style&gt;

&lt;style name="CustomActionBar" parent="android:style/Widget.Holo.ActionBar"&gt;
    &lt;item name="android:actionBarTabTextStyle"&gt;@style/customActionBarTabTextStyle&lt;/item&gt;
    &lt;item name="android:actionBarTabStyle"&gt;@style/customActionBarTabStyle&lt;/item&gt;
    &lt;item name="android:actionBarTabBarStyle"&gt;@style/customActionBarTabBarStyle&lt;/item&gt;
&lt;/style&gt;    

&lt;style name="customActionBarTabTextStyle" parent="@style/CustomActionBar"&gt;
    &lt;item name="android:textColor"&gt;#2966c2&lt;/item&gt;
    &lt;item name="android:textSize"&gt;20sp&lt;/item&gt;
    &lt;item name="android:typeface"&gt;sans&lt;/item&gt;
&lt;/style&gt;

&lt;style name="customActionBarTabStyle" parent="@style/CustomActionBar"&gt;
    &lt;!-- &lt;item name="android:background"&gt;@drawable/actionbar_tab_bg&lt;/item&gt; --&gt;
    &lt;item name="android:paddingLeft"&gt;20dp&lt;/item&gt;
    &lt;item name="android:paddingRight"&gt;20dp&lt;/item&gt;
&lt;/style&gt;    

&lt;style name="customActionBarTabBarStyle" parent="@style/CustomActionBar"&gt;
    &lt;item name="android:paddingLeft"&gt;240dp&lt;/item&gt;
&lt;/style&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Can someone explain why the thin blue line selection behavior of the Honeycomb Gallery Sample App does not work for me? </p>

<p>New insight since this was written: the problem here, I think, is that the style I have created to overide ActionBarTabStyle is entirely bogus:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;style name="customActionBarTabStyle" parent="@style/CustomActionBar"&gt;
    &lt;item name="android:paddingLeft"&gt;20dp&lt;/item&gt;
    &lt;item name="android:paddingRight"&gt;20dp&lt;/item&gt;
&lt;/style&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I need to specify the <em>correct</em> parent of this style per "Theme.holo"....how can one find where the default style is so it can be specified as a parent?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
