My app is using an own style which I made with the Android Action Bar Style Generator (Style compatibility = AppCombat). The color of the Actionbar and the tab are the same but the problem is that there is a shadow between them. How can I remove this shadow? 

<style name="MyAppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light">
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>

"android:windowContentOverlay" is removing the shadow below the tab and not above. enter image description here

Ok here's the solution by Audren Teissier which worked for me:

It's because you are using a drawable instead of a color.look for something like this:

<style name="MyActionBar"
parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
<item name="android:background">@color/yourcolor</item>
</style>

Replace the drawable by a color like above and it should go away.
