The layout for "Done" are provided in layout and layout-large folders in the framework. This button can be styled using the attribute android:attr/actionModeCloseButtonStyle in the activity's theme. The style only covers the android:background of the button, as mentioned in styles.xml. Also, the string used for "Done" is within Android's scope (@string/action_mode_done). Hence, the string for the CAB cannot be changed.

perhaps this should be a feature request for the next version of the SDK? – jrharshath Feb 21 '13 at 17:33
