Use the Sherlock parent style, which is defined by @style/, and not this one that you have from android library, which is called by @android:style (same for color, drawable, etc), as follows: 

<style ... parent="@style/Theme.Sherlock.Light">

Sometimes, this above will not work. Another solution is to call the parent without @style/ prefix as: 

<style ... parent="Theme.Sherlock.Light">

Then, when you call your custom style, it might be better to use a name like this: 

<style name="ThemeTransparent" ... >

which will be attached to the application (or an activity) in the manifest file with: 

<application
    ...
    android:theme="@style/ThemeTransparent" >
