Changing highlighted text color

Question

I have just a edittext on a card, created with relativelayout. When i double press on it, to mark it, the color of the two markes, right and left from the text a bit lower, have the same color as the card, because of that i want to change the color of the markers. The bar above the toolbar, and under the statusbar, is currently white, how u can see on the picture, that i want to change too, with animations and colors :D Maybe somebody can help me at my difficulties

Thanks in advance :)

It looks currently like this: enter image description here
