Maybe this can help you also. It's from the website:

First things first you need to have a custom theme declared for your application (or activity, depending on your needs). Something like…

Then, declare your custom theme for two cases, API versions with and without the Holo Themes. For the old themes we’ll customize the windowTitleBackgroundStyle attribute, and for the newer ones the ActionBarStyle.

That’s it!
