    copied!<p>I am trying to achieve 2 things</p> <ol> <li>White Text for Menu Items, Title text color works</li> <li>Text Shadows for Title and Menu item</li> </ol> <p>All this on XML.</p> <p>What works, after experiments?</p> <ol> <li>Custom Action bar layout works just fine with shadows.</li> <li>Text color for all Tiles works but text shadow has no effect</li> <li><p>Text color for Menu item has no effect anywhere. In the example code when I declare MenuTextStyle in the main Theme tag, I am able to change text size but not color.</p> <pre><code>&lt;style name="Theme.SexyApp" parent="Theme.Sherlock.Light"&gt; &lt;item name="actionBarStyle"&gt;@style/Widget.SexyApp.ActionBar&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="android:actionBarStyle"&gt;@style/Widget.SexyApp.ActionBar&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="android:actionBarItemBackground"&gt;@drawable/list_state&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="actionBarItemBackground"&gt;@drawable/list_state&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="android:actionMenuTextAppearance"&gt;@style/Theme.SexyApp.ActionBar.MenuTextStyle&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="actionMenuTextAppearance"&gt;@style/Theme.SexyApp.ActionBar.MenuTextStyle&lt;/item&gt; &lt;/style&gt; &lt;style name="Widget.SexyApp.ActionBar" parent="@style/Widget.Sherlock.Light.ActionBar"&gt; &lt;item name="android:displayOptions"&gt;showHome|useLogo|showTitle&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="android:titleTextStyle"&gt;@style/Theme.SexyApp.ActionBar.TextAppearance&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="titleTextStyle"&gt;@style/Theme.SexyApp.ActionBar.TextAppearance&lt;/item&gt; &lt;/style&gt; &lt;style name="Theme.SexyApp.ActionBar.TextAppearance" parent="@style/TextAppearance.Sherlock.Widget.ActionBar.Title"&gt; &lt;item name="android:textColor"&gt;@color/white&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="android:textSize"&gt;20dp&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="android:textStyle"&gt;bold&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="android:shadowColor"&gt;#333333&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="android:shadowRadius"&gt;1&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="android:shadowDy"&gt;1&lt;/item&gt; &lt;/style&gt; &lt;style name="Theme.SexyApp.ActionBar.MenuTextStyle" parent="@style/TextAppearance.Sherlock.Widget.ActionBar.Menu"&gt; &lt;item name="android:textColor"&gt;@color/white&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="android:textSize"&gt;13dp&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="android:textStyle"&gt;bold&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="android:shadowColor"&gt;#333333&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="android:shadowRadius"&gt;1&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="android:shadowDy"&gt;1&lt;/item&gt; &lt;/style&gt; </code></pre></li> </ol>
