Answer 1

Check this link:

ActionBarSherlock - How to set the padding of each actionbar's icon?

The idea is to create a new theme which has a parent theme as Theme.Sherlock

and lower actionButtonStyle minWidth attribute

<style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme.Sherlock">
    <item name="actionButtonStyle">@style/MyActionButtonStyle</item>
</style>

<style name="MyActionButtonStyle" parent="Widget.Sherlock.ActionButton">
    <item name="android:minWidth">28dip</item>
</style>

and apply this theme to your Activity in the manifest.
