settings, or any combination to your particular liking: Drop shadow: Blend mode > Multiply, Opacity > 75%,
Distance > 1, Spread > 0, Size > 1, Inner Glow: Blend Mode > Screen, Opacity > 75%, Size > 2, Gradient Overlay:
Blend Mode > Normal, first color stop > 194163, second color stop > 123456, Stroke: Size > 1,

Create a new 200 x 200 document in RGB mode, double-click on the background to turn into
an editable layer and fill with white. Create a new layer and name it Menu. Use the rectangle tool and create
a 160 x 140 selection and fill it with black. Now add the following layer styles to the
Menu layer. | |
Drop shadow: Blend Mode > Multiply, Opacity > 75%, Distance > 1, Spread > 0,
Size > 1. | |
Inner Glow: Blend Mode > Multiply, Color > C0C1BF, Opacity > 75%,
Size > 5. | |
Bevel & Emboss: Style > Inner Bevel, Technique > Smooth, Depth >
22. | |
Gradient Overlay: Default styles & first color stop > #c2c2c2, second color
stop > #ececec. | |
Stroke: Size > 1, Color > #cacaca. | |
Now all we need are the navigation buttons. Add a new layer and use the rectangular marquee
tool and draw a selection at the top of the menubar as shown (feather: 4 pixels). | |
Create a new layer to add the navigation buttons. With the rectangular marquee tool, draw
a 130 x 22 selection and use the same settings as were utilized on the menu layer
(see above). | |
When finished, duplicate the button layer and place as needed. I found it easier
to add a new layer and then add the text to each individual button; whatever works for
you. Good luck! | |
