It is possible to use Holo theme only for dialogs?

I declared the app theme with Theme.Black.NoTitleBar in the manifest, and every time I want to instantiate a dialog (ProgressDialog for example) I use

new ProgressDialog(this, R.style.default_system_theme);

This style is declared in two xml files, based on the android version: one with the holo theme and the other one with the old theme.

The theme is actually applied, but here is the result.

enter image description here

As you can see, the background is not transparent and the dialog is shown at the top of the screen.

Where am I wrong? Thank you in advance.

EDIT

Setting the R.style.default_system_theme property with Theme.Holo.Dialog and Theme.dialog ( depending on android version) here is the result.

enter image description here

There is still the background even if it doesn't fill up the entire screen. Ho can I get rid of it?

Yes thank you! I've just put `@android:color/transparent` inside the definition of the dialog style. – Daniele Vitali Oct 09 '13 at 11:22
