Custom error popup for TextView/EditText in HoloEverywhere?

Question

In HoloEverywhere, is there a way to change the background drawable of the popup which is triggered through TextView.setError(...)?

Error popup

Note: The default (non-HoloEverywhere) TextView/EditText uses internal resources for the popup and thus cannot be styled easily.

You could extend TextView and override setError() by specifying to use another background image.

I would also have to override the complete popup handling. As indicated in the note at the bottom of my original question, popup handling and resources are completely internal. (If curious, have a look at the Android source code.) – Carl Jul 26 '13 at 13:06

I was asking to modify the popup background (not the icon). – Carl Jul 26 '13 at 13:04
Okay, my bad. Don't think that's doable, you need a custom view. – Bogdan Zurac Jul 26 '13 at 13:05
