Change Dialog Theme for every Dialog

Question

Im using Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar but I dont really like the Light Dialogs/AlertDialogs.

I want to change every Dialog to the dark Holo Dialog.

Answer 1

In AndroidManifest.xml under the application tag, add this line :

android:theme="Holo.Light.DarkActionBar"

The issue is that the styles you're changing android:background and android:textColor are not dialog attributes.

You can see a full list here under Theme.Holo.Dialog on line 1617.

The ones you have to change are probably android:windowBackground and textAppearance
