Why I hate mixing implicit/explicit styles
<style name="Widget" />

<style name="Widget.Button" />

<style name="Widget.Button.Alternative" parent="@android:style/SomeOtherStyle />

All buttons either use Widget.Button or Widget.Button.Alternative.

I decide to change something in Widget.Button.

Everything you need to do to change the color of the title of your ActionBar.
<style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="actionBarStyle">@style/MyActionBarStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionBarStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar.Solid">
<item name="titleTextStyle">@style/MyTitleTextStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="MyTitleTextStyle" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
<item name="android:textColor">#000000</item>

With the new theming in AppCompat, a lot of assets are tinted automatically for you via theme attributes. That has often led me to wonder "where the hell did this color come from?" You can replace your normal theme with this debug theme to help figure out the source of that color.
<!-- You can change the parent around to whatever you normally use -->
<style name="DebugColors" parent="Theme.AppCompat">
<!-- System colors -->
<item name="android:windowBackground">@color/__debugWindowBackground</item>
<item name="android:colorPressedHighlight">#FF4400</item>
<item name="android:colorLongPressedHighlight">#FF0044</item>
<item name="android:colorFocusedHighlight">#44FF00</item>
<item name="android:colorActivatedHighlight">#00FF44</item>

Wrapping with transformers
private CompositeSubscription subscriptions = new CompositeSubscription();
public <T> Observable<T> subscribe(Observable<T> observable) {
subscriptions.add(observable.subscribe());
return observable;
}
public <T> Observable.Transformer<T, T> subscribeTransformer() {
return new Observable.Transformer<T, T>() {
@Override
import rx.Observable;
import rx.subjects.PublishSubject;
public class Property<T> {
private T value;
private PublishSubject<T> property;
public Property() {
property = PublishSubject.create();
