hi, i'm a newbie. i made this app for 4.0.3 that has some spinners an
textviews. it looks fine - everything has a black background.
my target phone is a 2.3.3. spinner has grey/and white backgrounds.
changing the background color works for the dropdown view and for the
text view on the spinner, but not for the spinner itself. i belive
this is because they us 9patches or something.
looking in the platforms file and doing some diffs (please see
below), it seems that the most of the xml files are the same except
for one small difference. also the level 15 api has some extra files.
is it possible to somehow make my app use these level 15 files (just
for the spinners) on a level 10 platform?
or is there a way to use a darker theme on the 2.3.3?
thanks
