Dumb question, but I’m totally new to these tools, how do you turn this into a colorful glass button?

Cool Button Designer is a Windoze only program…*sigh*

Did you try Cool Button Designer? You can make a glossy, plastic and other cool looking buttons in few minutes. Photoshop or illustrator is not required. You can control the light, color of the light, position size, shadows. Pretty cool program for those who is looking to create a professional looking button. Just decided to share it, cause I am using it for my GUI interface.

Excellent tutorial! I have been searching and trying out other tutorials and just could never get that nice crisp glassy effect they put even right in their tutorials. Mine always seemed to come out slightly “dulled out”.

Very nice work; thank you also for the time and effort you are putting in to educate total noobs like me.

I have one question however, and I realize that this is not in the scope of your tutorial but is really the next step after creating the button – how do you go about adding decent looking text to this button now? I assume that you would need to have the text underneath your rectangle that becomes the opacity mask to create the same reflection effect on the text, but mine just seems to go all faded under the mask. Any ideas?

Thanks again for a fabulous piece of work.
