customizing onOptionMenu look

i am trying to make my OnOptionMenu looks like this:

Any ideas on how to make it close to it??

Edit:

here is what i did:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
    <item
         android:id="@+id/item1"
         android:title="ajouter"
         android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_plus" 
         android:showAsAction="always">

    </item>
    <item 
        android:id="@+id/item2" 
        android:title="rechercher" 
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_loupe" 
        android:showAsAction="always">

    </item>
    <item 
        android:id="@+id/item3" 
        android:title="editer" 
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_crayon" 
        android:showAsAction="ifRoom">

    </item>
    <item 
        android:id="@+id/item4" 
        android:title="supprimer" 
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_poubelle" 
        android:showAsAction="ifRoom">

    </item>
    <item 
        android:id="@+id/item5" 
        android:title="à propos"  
        android:showAsAction="ifRoom" 
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_poubelle">

    </item>
    <item 
        android:id="@+id/item6" 
        android:title="Quitter"  
        android:showAsAction="ifRoom" 
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_poubelle">

    </item>

    </menu>

but it still looks the same, i still get a quiet classic menu.( just the item's title on a list)

here is how it looks: http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/3007/resultax.th.png

by the way do i have to inflate the actionbar menu and the menu on the bottom with two different inflaters??

any additional ideas??

It is very easy, you can do this in xml file itself

<menu
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
>
<item
android:id="@+id/Non_Veg"
android:title="Non Veg"
android:icon="@drawable/hamburger">  
 <menu>
        <item 
        android:id="@+id/Chicken"
              android:title="Chicken"/>
        <item 
        android:id="@+id/Butter_Chicken"
              android:title="Butter Chicken" />
        <item 
        android:id="@+id/Mutton"
              android:title="Mutton" />
        <item 
        android:id="@+id/Beef"
              android:title="Beef" />
        <item 
        android:id="@+id/Ham"
              android:title="Ham" />
    </menu>
 </item>
 </menu>

Here in item tag you can directly use the android:icon property to set the icon of the menu, hope I helped.

Create resource file in res/menu and inflate it in onCreateOptionsMenu() Activity-method 

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <item android:id="@+id/help"
    android:title="Help" 
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_1/>
  <item android:id="@+id/keyboard"
    android:title="Keyboard"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_2" />
  <item android:id="@+id/exit"
    android:title="Exit" 
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_3/>
</menu>
