I ended up using the generator here:
http://jgilfelt.github.com/android-actionbarstylegenerator/
My background color in my android app is a light gray and I want it to be pure white "FFFFFF". How do I either edit the theme/style xml files or set it in MainActivity.cs in order for it to be application wide.
The reason I want to do this is also because my WebViews with plain html have a pure white background even when I set the color to transparent. I also just want the background to be white in general.
In my styles.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
