After many trial, I found solution of this question. To change the style of sherlock spinner, we have to provide styles to spinner in our application which will override default style of sherlock spinner.

Styles.xml

 <style name="spinner_style" parent="Widget.Sherlock.Light.Spinner.DropDown.ActionBar">
    <item name="android:dropDownWidth">290dp</item>
    <item name="background">#18c3ef</item>
    <item name="android:background">@drawable/spinner_background_holo_light</item>
    <item name="android:popupBackground">#ffffff</item>
    <item name="android:divider">@color/black</item>
    <item name="android:dividerHeight">3dp</item>
    <item name="android:scrollbars">none</item>
    <item name="android:dropDownSelector">@android:color/darker_gray</item>
    <item name="android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawVerticalTrack">false</item>
    <item name="android:scrollbarTrackVertical">@android:color/darker_gray</item>
</style>

Applying style to sherlock spinner in our layout file

main.xml

        <com.app.sherelock.internal.widget.IcsSpinner
            android:id="@+id/ics_spinner"
            style="@style/spinner_style"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

Are you using `Actionbar Sherlock` or `Actionbar Compat`? – Zankhna Jan 20 '14 at 05:15
have you imported `com.packeg.sherelock.internal.widget.IcsAdapterView` and `com.packeg.sherelock.internal.widget.IcsSpinner` in your activtiy? – Zankhna Jan 20 '14 at 08:41
i imported only com.packeg.sherelock.internal.widget.IcsSpinner – Saad Bilal Jan 20 '14 at 09:55
