ProgressBar won't be in Holo style

I added a ProgressBar to my UI by using the ADT's visual editor. For some reason, the ProgressBar is not in Holo style used by my Activity, it's just a grey line thought it is supposed to be in Holo style. As you can see below, I didn't touch any ProgressBar's attributes in Activity's style:

     <style name="sMain" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo">
    <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/mTabAreaBackground</item>
    <item name="android:actionBarTabStyle">@style/ActionBarTabStyle</item>
</style>

The Bar's XML:

      <ProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/pbMyBar"
    style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_below="@+id/relativeLayout1"
    android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="10dp" />

Any explanation for this strange behavior?

A gray line is Holo style -- it just doesn't have any progress. Try setting android:progress="50" and you'll see half of it fill up with blue.

And just to reiterate, setting style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal" is what you need to do to get 'holo style'.
