My app's theme is Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar. To change background color of option menu, I inserted this code <item name="android:itemBackground">@color/darkblue</item> in style.xml. This code worked well, however, some changes that I don't want, were added. Option menu panel's corner turned into be angular from rounded. And ripple effect was gone. How can I change option menu's background color without other changing?

There are some good answers here I tried this and worked

<style name="CustomActionBarTheme"
   parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo">
<item name="android:popupMenuStyle">@style/MyPopupMenu</item>
<item name="android:itemTextAppearance">@style/TextAppearance</item>
</style>
<!-- Popup Menu Background Color styles -->
<style name="MyPopupMenu" 
   parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.ListPopupWindow">
<item name="android:popupBackground">@color/Your_color_for_background</item> 

</style>
<!-- Popup Menu Text Color styles -->
<style name="TextAppearance">
<item name="android:textColor">@color/Your_color_for_text</item>
</style>

i found a better and easier way to do it... just add this to your style and change the color:

<item name="android:itemBackground">#FFFF</item>
