You can try like this..

see http://www.androidworks.com/changing-the-android-edittext-ui-widget for details

For other theme implementation go for this way In your manifest in application

    android:theme="@style/firsttheme"

IN res/values you can define theme.xml

<resources> 
    <style name="firsttheme" parent="@android:style/Theme" > 
       <item name="android:_DEFAULT_BASE_COLOR_1">#XXXXXX</item>
       <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
        ... . 
    </style>
</resources>

I want to change that `BLUE` color border to some other color. Thats it. I dont want complete 4 sided border. I want the same style as it is in the above figure. – Bharath Jan 17 '13 at 12:57
Ya.. It means that I need to create a 9 patch image of my own color isn't? – Bharath Jan 17 '13 at 13:26

You can use Holo Colors to tint it. It generates the 9-patchs and the styles.
