[FIXED] How can I change the Options menu background for Android 2.3?

Issue

I have the same standard options menu, but I want to change the background of the items from white to black. I've seen many postings about how to do it, but those don't work for 2.3.

Does anyone know of a working menu inflater with a custom-colored background compatible with version 2.3?

Solution

In an ideal scenario, you shouldn't be doing that. Various devices would have different colors, as they decide. If you really really have to customize the menu item's backgrounds, then, I would suggest don't use it. Instead, create some kind of context menu, which you can fully customize as per your needs.

I know its probably not a solution you are asking for, but whatever workarounds you will be be doing for this, it might work for a few device, and would probably be a disaster for others.
