Change app's title color from an actionbar created on actionbarstylegenerator

Question

I'm trying to change my actionbar (sherlock) app title color from black to white using android:textColor inside my style but it doesnt seem to work.

I generated this actionbar on http://jgilfelt.github.io/android-actionbarstylegenerator but I thought that the textColor code should work anyway.

Here's the code that I got from the website. What do I have to do to make it white just for the title?

You can do this via code in an easier way in onCreate:

int titleId = Resources.getSystem().getIdentifier("action_bar_title", "id", "android");
TextView Tv = (TextView)findViewById(titleId);
Tv.setTextColor(colorID);
