title: Android options menu is transparent
body: <p>I have been struggling with this problem for a while. I have no action bar but I do have a options menu. The options menu is transparent I can't get it to be not transparent. This problem arises because of the theme: <strong><code>Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar</code></strong> or any like <code>Theme.AppCompact.Light.</code> I have tried many things like setting <code>android:panelFullBackground</code> or similar but they do not work or them make all my screen dark for split-seconds when options menu is out.</p>
  
  <p>I did find a somewhat useful solution which is I extended <code>ActionBarActivity</code> and set the Theme to <strong><code>Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar</code></strong> but when you press the options menu button you hear the button pressing sound twice. </p>
  
  <p>Please help me. I would like a xml fix or a different (similar though to what I'm using) theme(that works with tabs too). </p>
