You don't need to edit the styles.xml, just provide your own. Take a look at the sample app, which has its own ShowcaseView styles:

I can't comment because I don't have >50 reputation.

You can change your parent class in your style in which to inherit from. If you switch in between ShowcaseView.Light and ShowcaseView the detail text should alternate between white/black.

OR you might be able to use this in your style:

<item name="sv_detailTextAppearance">@style/CustomDetailText</item>
