AppCompat-v7:21 provides a very useful way of dealing with pressed/focused/activated states maintaining backwards compatibility downto API-7, but there's a small issue (big for some) with the default selectableItemBackground: It uses some PNGs and/or default values for API<21.

The main reason is that android drawable resource definitions (prior API 21) CANNOT use theme attributes at all, so there's no way of making something like:
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
        <solid android:color="?attr/colorControlHighlight" />
</shape>

For this, I've put this simple mockup on how to give your app better drawables that the appcompat defaults.

Unless specified otherwise, all of the below tinting applies to both Lollipop and pre-Lollipop using AppCompat v21. To use the support version of these attributes, remove the android namespace.  For instance, "android:colorControlNormal" becomes "colorControlNormal".  These attributes will be propagated to their corresponding attributes within the android namespace for devices running Lollipop.  Any exceptions to this will be noted by including the "android:" prefix.

All Clickable Views:
-----------
* ripple effect (Lollipop only) -- "colorControlHighlight"

Status Bar:
------------
* background (Lollipop only) - "colorPrimaryDark"
