How to change color of overflow menu separator?

I want to change the color of the separators in my overflow menu. I managed to do this using the following code. But I realized that the delimiters in all players of the application are also changed. Is there a way to change the color only for the overflow menu?

<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light"> 
         <item name="android:dropDownListViewStyle">@style/MyDropDownListView</item>  
</style> 

<style name="MyDropDownListView" parent="android:style/Widget.Holo.ListView.DropDown">
   <item name="android:divider">#bb0000</item> 
   <item name="android:dividerHeight">5dp</item>  
</style>
