I read the new documentation on mirroring the theme attributes so that the native action bar becomes themed like the non-native action bar. However, I cannot seem to make my native action bar use a drawable as a background like I can with the non-native action bar. When I run my application on Android 2.3, the actionbar background looks as I have specified, and when on Android 4.0 devices, the colors do not show.

I have something like the following in my themes.xml:

```xml

```

As you can see I have both the `` and the one that the non-native uses. My actionar_bg.xml is:

```xml

```

And I have a couple of colors in colors.xml:

```xml

#F00
#000

```

When I run the app on Android 4.0, the red gradient doesn't show up. But on Android 2.3, it does. What am I doing wrong?
