Holo Dark TabWidget style for Holo Light Theme

I've got a custom theme that inherits from Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar and I'm trying to change the theme's tabWidget style so it to look like if the theme was Theme.Holo Dark.

I've tried this in my theme with no result

<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar">   <item name="android:tabWidgetStyle">@android:style/Widget.Holo.TabWidget</item> ... </style> 

The only thing I can appreciate is there is a small change in the blue bar of the tab.

Any idea how to get it? Thanks!
