Android - Change Holo theme default blue color

Question

I would like to customize Holo theme by changing the default blue color to fit my company color. Is there an easy way to do this? Or I have to redefine the style of all components with blue parts, such as dialog titles, actionbar bottom line, pushed buttons, pickers, etc.

Solution 1

I cannot add anything more than this link:

Solution 2

As an addition to Waza Be's answer, you might want to use this for styling the Action Bar:
