xml - Android: Changing the colour of the action bar -

I had set my window background color white in white and now I'm just trying to change the color of the action bar To make it green, this is my XML code:

  & lt; Style name = "Custom Aaptimo 2" parent = "Android: widget.Holo.light" & gt; & Lt; Item name = "android: windowBackground" & gt; @color / white & lt; / Item & gt; & Lt; Item name = "Android: Background" & gt; @color / green & lt; / Item & gt; & Lt; Item name = "Android: icon" & gt; @Android: Color / Transparent & lt; / Item & gt; & Lt; / Style & gt;  

The problem is that using Android: Background to change the color of the action bar, it overflows and the color of the whole screen turns to green, it gives me a clear green action bar and Below this is a white window. thank you in advanced!
