You can use HoloEverywhere library which allows to use Holo themes on Android 2.x

Answer 2

As @user527759 mentioned HoloEverywhere can make your app to use Holo theme even in old Android versions. I want to show another option, because as you are asking in your question, how to make your SeekBar looks like in Theme.Holo . There are a few tools which I am using almost everyday in my 'development life' Android-UI-Utils . You can find lots of useful tools for styling ActionBar, ActionBar Items, Generic Icons and etc. And the thing which you need in is http://android-holo-colors.com/ , which will create a theme for your applications with Holo colors for the UI elements which you will select before creating the theme.

The thing which I like about that is that you don't depend on another library (which is something which I prefer, at least for styling UI elements) and you can play with the colors. For example if your app's default color is red, you can set default color for holo-colors to be red too, so all your UI elements will have that color by default.

So this is just another option. I've never used HoloEverywhere , can't say anything about that library. It depends on you which path you will choose : )
