VS - Android - How to change seekbar style from yellow to original blue

Question

I made the app background transparent and after that the seekbar style changed from original blue holo to yellow (see picture). Android emulator is set to 4.2.2

styles.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
  <style name="Theme.Transparent" parent="@android:style/Theme.Translucent">
    <item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@android:color/transparent</item>
    <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
    <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>    
    <item name="android:backgroundDimEnabled">false</item>
    <item name="android:background">@android:color/transparent</item>
  </style>
</resources>

Main.axml seekbar style:

<SeekBar
    p1:layout_width="250dp"
    p1:layout_height="wrap_content"
    p1:id="@+id/seekbarLevel"
    p1:max="100"
    p1:layout_marginRight="10dp"
    p1:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
    p1:layout_gravity="center" />

1. How to make seekbar use standard style?

2. Is there a tutorial or something about formatting or styling seekbar and other controls? How to make other shapes and colors?

Answer 1

Add the Halo style back to your SeekBar:

style="@android:style/Widget.Holo.SeekBar"

<SeekBar
    android:layout_width="250dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/seekbarLevel"
    android:max="100"
    android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
    android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"       
    android:layout_gravity="center" />
<SeekBar
    android:layout_width="250dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/seekbarLevel"
    android:max="100"
    android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
    android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"       
    android:layout_gravity="center" 
    style="@android:style/Widget.Holo.SeekBar" />
