How do you create buttons and panels like the ones on skype -> http://www.skype.com/
They look shiny and nice, but not dodgy like they've used gradients.
Is there a plugin for photoshop or some tutorials on getting this effect.
thanks.

those are gradients. But they are subtle too. Use some gradients and change opacity level.
i suggest searching for a tutorial to make osx aqua buttons, i remember seeing that and it was very insightive.
also gradients with different layer modes are helpful...gradients 4 life!

Thanks for the advice... I gues they have to be gradients... it's just the way they're done that makes em look better than alot of the buttons out there.

You can download the 'action set' for the Aqua button here
"Rang Aqua Photoshop action"
http://buryme34.tripod.com/misc.…Use it and you'll get a better idea of how to make this effect.

Definitely gradients bro.
Here is a quick tutorial on how to make Aqua like buttons in PS.

Well, I would say check the 'Resource Thread' but it's useless and basically defunct. Illy links throughout that would have helped you. Adobe Illustrator CS.
