Set overflow menu text color

Question

In my main theme, I include this:

<item name="android:popupMenuStyle">@style/ListPopupWindow</item>

in styles.xml:

<style name="ListPopupWindow" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.ListPopupWindow">
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/bright_foreground_holo_dark</item>    
</style>

where bright_foreground_holo_dark is a light gray (#fff3f3f3). Yet the text appears as black. The background is a dark gray, as it should be in the dark holo theme.

These definitions are in the android styles.xml source.

<style name="Widget.Holo.ListPopupWindow" parent="Widget.ListPopupWindow">
    <item name="android:dropDownSelector">@android:drawable/list_selector_holo_dark</item>
    <item name="android:popupBackground">@android:drawable/menu_dropdown_panel_holo_dark</item>
    <item name="android:dropDownVerticalOffset">0dip</item>
    <item name="android:dropDownHorizontalOffset">0dip</item>
    <item name="android:dropDownWidth">wrap_content</item>
</style>

<style name="Widget.ListPopupWindow">
    <item name="android:dropDownSelector">@android:drawable/list_selector_background</item>
    <item name="android:popupBackground">@android:drawable/spinner_dropdown_background</item>
    <item name="android:dropDownVerticalOffset">-10dip</item>
    <item name="android:dropDownHorizontalOffset">0dip</item>
    <item name="android:dropDownWidth">wrap_content</item>        
</style>

<style name="Widget">
    <item name="android:textAppearance">?textAppearance</item>
</style>

<style name="TextAppearance">
    <item name="android:textColor">?textColorPrimary</item>
    <item name="android:textColorHighlight">?textColorHighlight</item>
    <item name="android:textColorHint">?textColorHint</item>
    <item name="android:textColorLink">?textColorLink</item>
    <item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
    <item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
</style>

Just in case someone is looking for help,

To change the font color of overflow menu item, your main theme should include

<item name="android:textAppearanceLargePopupMenu">@style/PopupMenuTextAppearance</item>

and in style.xml

<style name="PopupMenuTextAppearance" parent="android:TextAppearance.Large">
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/bright_foreground_holo_dark</item>
</style>

choose any parent TextAppearance.Medium /TextAppearance.Small depending upon needs.
