Change the color of the ActionBar and other elemets

I'm trying to change the color scheme of my application and want to change the color of the ActionBar, menu items, etc.

I came across this tool : http://jgilfelt.github.io/android-actionbarstylegenerator/

And I used it to generate the necessary files to get everything in the color that I want to. However, when I add the files to my res directory, the theme still does not change.

Does anyone know how I can use it to change my app's color scheme to whatever I want?

The tool you mentioned is deprecated, that means no longer supported. You should use Toolbar. Which is mentioned in the android support docs. or use the AppCompat version (to support older devices)

Look in your styles and compare it with this page https://developer.android.com/training/material/theme.html Remember that style needs to be set to have effect.
