How to prevent AlertDialog using custom theme from appearing fullscreen?

Question

I am using a custom style for my AlertDialogs, but it is making them appear fullscreen. I've searched around, but I could only seem to find people wanting to make it fullscreen...

Here is my style

<style name="MyDialog" parent="AlertDialog.AppCompat">
    <item name="android:background">@color/material_dark</item>
    <item name="android:layout_height">100dp</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/accent</item>
    <item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/material_white</item>
</style>  

And one of my AlertDialogs.

AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this.getContext(), R.style.MyDialog)
            .setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_alert)
            .setTitle(this.getContext().getResources().getString(R.string.reset) + "?")
            .setMessage(this.getContext().getResources().getString(R.string.AreYouSure))
            .setPositiveButton(getString(R.string.yes), (dialog, which) -> {
                reset();
            })
            .setNegativeButton(getString(R.string.notReally), (dialog, which) ->{
                //Do nothing
            })
            .show();

And this is what it looks like. I cannot figure out why it takes up the entire screen. It should look like an AlertDialog just with custom colors.

add <item name="android:windowIsFloating">true</item> to MyDialog style
