Answer 1

In addition to David's answer.

rowHeaderStyle applies the style both to menu items in HeaderFragment and row titles in RowFragment (these two fragments compose your BrowseFragment).

If you want their styles (font colors in particular) to be different, you can override BrowseFragment::onCreateHeadersFragment() and apply specific theme at that point.

1) Add these styles to styles.xml:

2) Apply AppTheme.Leanback.Browse.Row theme to your activity in manifest.

3) Apply AppTheme.Leanback.Browse.Header theme to headers in your BrowseFragment:

// Kotlin snippet
override fun onCreateHeadersFragment() : HeadersFragment {
    class CustomHeadersFragment : HeadersFragment() {
        override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View {
            return super.onCreateView(
                    inflater.cloneInContext(ContextThemeWrapper(inflater.context, R.style.AppTheme_Leanback_Browse_Header)),
                    container,
                    savedInstanceState
            )
        }
    }

    return CustomHeadersFragment()
}
