    Thank you, but as I wrote, I am explicitly trying to avoid bringing external drawable resources to the project Commented Apr 16, 2015 at 21:34
  • So try to change @drawable/my_fancy_up_indicator to @color/whatevercolor Commented Apr 16, 2015 at 21:56
  • It will result in a square colored with whatevercolor, which is not what I want. Commented Apr 16, 2015 at 21:59

    @user2551017 try @drawable/abc_ic_ab_back_mtrl_am_alpha which should be already available in android. so you wont be using external resource Commented Apr 16, 2015 at 22:07
  • since you are extending theme.material.light, this should mean light background, dark foreground. Which is your back button, overflow menu button should be black. So you need to overwrite it or change parent of your theme Commented Apr 16, 2015 at 22:35
