I'm developing an app for Android 2.2 and higher. I use the great ActionBarSherlock (thank you, Jake Wharton !!) to use the action bar on pre-ICS devices.

While the actionbar looks great, all other gui elements have the look of the default theme of the device (in my case HTC Sense 3).

Is there a possibility to style my (>= Android 2.2) app on all android devices with the Holo.Dark.Theme?

I compile my app with Android 4.0.3, the minSDK version is 8.
