Ah, it was this! We were using ActionBarSherlock.
public class SettingsActivity extends FragmentActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
setTheme(R.style.Theme_Sherlock);
I then used Theme_Sherlock_Light and the checkbox appeared correctly.
Though now the ActionBar is white... which looks odd since we were
used to a black-bar ActionBar.
Would there be a way to separately theme the ActionBar or checkbox? I
can't get at git.kernel.org and even if I could, Honeycomb source
isn't out.
