I have been able to change the background, but not the text color. Or the overflow menu "three dots". My code is above.
You need to move your titleTextStyle attribute into your MyActionBar style. Do you understand why it's supposed to be placed there rather than where you had it originally?
<style name="MyActionBar" parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar">
<item name="android:background">#2E495E</item>
<item name="android:titleTextStyle">#style/MyActionBar.Text</item>
</style>
As far as changing the Overflow icon, I think that's what mean when you say "three dots", I've already written a post about that here.
Try this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- For honeycomb and up -->
<resources>
<style name="Theme.RateItTheme" parent="#android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
<item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">#color/actionBarText</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionBar" parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar">
<item name="android:background">#2E495E</item>
<item name="android:titleTextStyle">#style/MyActionBar.Text</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionBar.Text" parent="#android:style/TextAppearance">
<item name="android:textColor">#ECECEC</item>
</style>

I am trying to get a red action bar with white text and I would also like to customize the font of the text, nothing I have tried works, the answer given here Change Background color of the action bar using AppCompat doesn't work. Here is my xml
<resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionBar" parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
<item name="android:titleTextStyle">#style/ActionBarTitleText</item>
<item name="android:background">#color/red</item>
<item name="background">#color/red</item>
</style>
<style name="ActionBarTitleText">
<item name="android:textColor">#android:color/white</item>
</style>
It seems like everything in here is being ignored, the action bar is black, along with basically everything else on screen, which I really don't want.
make two folders under res (values and values-v14) if they are not there.
add this code in res (values) folder
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="Theme.Styled" parent="#style/Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="actionBarStyle">#style/Widget.Styled.ActionBar</item>
</style>
<style name="Widget.Styled.ActionBar"
parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar">
<item name="background">#color/red</item>
<item name="titleTextStyle">#style/MyTextColor</item>
</style>
<style name="MyTextColor"
parent="#style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/white</item>
</style>
then this code in res (values-v14) add this code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="Theme.Styled" parent="#style/Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/Widget.Styled.ActionBar</item>
</style>
<style name="Widget.Styled.ActionBar"
parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar">
<item name="android:background">#color/red</item>
<item name="android:titleTextStyle">#style/MyTextColor</item>
</style>
<style name="MyTextColor"
parent="#style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/white</item>
</style>
In your manifest set theme to Theme.Styled
I'm trying to remove the blue underline in the action bar overflow icon. Here is the screenshot:
I don't have tabs but I saw some similar answered questions about action bar tabs underline but nothing worked for me. My Base application theme is Theme.AppCompat.Light. Here are the applied styles:
<style name="AppThemeNoActionBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">

<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>

<style name="MyActionBar"
parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar">
<item name="android:titleTextStyle">#style/MyActionBarTitleText</item>
<item name="android:background">#color/red</item>
<item name="titleTextStyle">#style/MyActionBarTitleText</item>

<style name="MyActionBarTitleText"

<item name="android:textColor">#color/white</item>
</style>
<style name="OverFlow"
parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar">
<item name="android:src">#drawable/ic_launcher</item>
</style>
Thanks for all the help! If you need more info about the app and code let me know :)
#nejc.m i think it's due to inheritance from the "Widget" parent. Try replacing "Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar" with "Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar". Let me know if this works.
I played around and I found out that it's a very easy solution. I added <item name="android:background">#color/red</item> to <style name="OverFlow" parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar">
Ive added a lot of properties to change to background color of the overflow menu, none seem to work.
Here are a few links i've refered (other than SO questions):

<item name="android:popupBackground">**#28bda9**</item>

You're on the right track, but the popupBackground is not merely a color.
You have to change the drawable.
Below is the default drawable for Holo Light (usually called menu_dropdown_panel).
Change the color using your favorite image editor, and put it your drawable-x folder.
The needed style will be as follows:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
...
<item name="android:popupMenuStyle">#style/MyPopupMenu</item>
</style>
<style name="MyPopupMenu" parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.ListPopupWindow">
<item name="android:popupBackground">#drawable/menu_dropdown_panel</item>
</style>
Does anyone know the way in which i am meant to code the change i want to make to the color of the ActionBar? I have tried using android:textColor , and android:color , as well as various other things. It seems like a quite a hassle for me. Although there is most probably a simple solution for this. Does anyone have any ideas?
Note: i am trying to make the font color white - from what i can tell, Android does this from the "actionbar.solid.pp" style.

Changing the action bar's text color is shown on the developer guide Styling the Action Bar
I think you can use this free tool to customize the style:
http://jgilfelt.github.io/android-actionbarstylegenerator/#name=example&compat=holo&theme=light&actionbarstyle=solid&texture=0&hairline=0&neutralPressed=1&backColor=E4E4E4%2C100&secondaryColor=D6D6D6%2C100&tabColor=33B5E5%2C100&tertiaryColor=F2F2F2%2C100&accentColor=33B5E5%2C100&cabBackColor=FFFFFF%2C100&cabHighlightColor=33B5E5%2C100
I don't want to create any custom layout for app label, just want to change it's color to white (now it's black). How could I do that?

<style name="MyTheme" parent="#android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">

None of the previous answers worked for me, so I'm showing the one that worked in my case.
<style name="AppThemeCustom" parent="Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/primary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#android:color/black</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
<item name="android:windowBackground">#android:color/white</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionBar" parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar">
<item name="android:titleTextStyle">#style/MyTitleTextStyle</item>
<!-- Support library compatibility -->
<item name="titleTextStyle">#style/MyTitleTextStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="MyTitleTextStyle"
parent="#style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
<item name="android:textColor">#android:color/black</item>
</style>
I wish if you find yourself in my situation this solution save your day. LOL
You need to style the android:titleTextStyle in your ActionBar.
<style name="MyActionBar" parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.ActionBar">
<item name="android:titleTextStyle">#style/MyTextTitle</item>
</style>
<style name="MyTextTitle" parent="#android:style/TextAppearance.Holo.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/white</item>
</style>
You can see this in Android Documentation: Customize the Text Color in ActionBar
Hope this helps.
in styles.xml
<style name="AppTheme.AppBarOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />
in toolbar
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay"
