Category Spinner should always look like a dropdown menu

Browse Source 
On Android 4.x, the category menu is showing up as pure black, and looks
very much like an app list item.  I've personally witnessed many new users
struggle to find an app because the category is on "What's New" by default
and the app they are looking for is not new.  Some even had troubles
remembering about the category menu after I told them.  This small change
makes the category dropdown look the same on all Android versions, and
makes it a lot more apparent on newer Android releases.

This is a temporary usability fix until we can do something much better
than the category dropdown menu.
