In your act_title.xml, set the liner layout section to look like this: <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/titleContainer" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="@drawable/app_global_title_dark" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:padding="0dip" android:layout_margin="0dip"> I think that's all you need.

I'll have a look through the code and see if there was something else I did in addition to what I listed above. Comments Yes, I did this in 2.0.
