Answer 1

Never use themes to edit. Because theme defines overall app behavior. U can use two methods for that

Method:1

U can directly specify the parameters in appbar.xml as shown below

Method:2

in appbar.xml:

in Style:

Points To Note

With the new Toolbar you can apply a style and a theme. They are different! The style is local to the Toolbar view, for example the background color. The app:theme is instead global to all ui elements inflated in the Toolbar, for example the color of the title and icons.
