title: Create custom titlebar in Android
body: <p>I created a custom title bar for my application but I am having some problems implementing it.  I want to change the color and the appearance for the text and title bar</p>
  
  <p>The layout of the styles.xml is as below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;resources&gt;
  
  &lt;style name="MyTheme"&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:tabWidgetStyle"&gt;@style/LightTabWidget&lt;/item&gt;
  
  
  &lt;/style&gt;
  &lt;style name="MyWindowTitleBackground" parent="@android:style/WindowTitleBackground"&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:background"&gt;@android:drawable/title_bar&lt;/item&gt;
  
  &lt;/style&gt;
  
  &lt;style name="MyWindowTitle" parent="@android:style/WindowTitle"&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:singleLine"&gt;true&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:windowTitleSize"&gt;40dip&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:textAppearance"&gt;@style/MyTextAppearance&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:shadowColor"&gt;#BB000000&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:shadowRadius"&gt;2.75&lt;/item&gt;
  &lt;/style&gt;
   &lt;style name="MyTextAppearance" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.WindowTitle"&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:textColor"&gt;#3A6629&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:textSize"&gt;14sp&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:textStyle"&gt;bold&lt;/item&gt;
  &lt;/style&gt;
  
  &lt;style name="LightTabWidget" parent="@android:style/Widget.TabWidget"&gt;
  
      &lt;item name="android:textSize"&gt;20px&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:textStyle"&gt;bold&lt;/item&gt;
  
      &lt;item name="android:textColor"&gt;#FF5721&lt;/item&gt;
  &lt;/style&gt;
  &lt;/resources&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I have added that theme in the manifest file as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Light"&gt;
     &lt;activity android:name="LAFoodBankAboutUs" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/MyTheme"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What do I have to do to show the custom title bar?</p>
