so open photoshop and come along with me.

Metallic Navigation Bar


Make a new document around 600x100px in photoshop with black background and get your <span style="padding-right:10px">rectangle marquee too and make a rectangle in your document .
Now grab the gradient tool and make the setting of the gradient as shown in the above figure then fill the selection with reflected gradient from top to bottom,name it bar.
After filling the gradient in the selection click on the rounded rectangle tool and make a rounded rectangle on the bar you have just made, Then rasterize the shape and name it bu, select the bu by ctrl+click in the layer panel.make a new layer on top of the bu layer while selecting the bu and name it glow.Now go to the select menu then modify then contract, contract the selection 2px.
Now grab the gradient tool again and select the foreground to transparent gradient and fill the selection on glow layer from top to bottom around 35% of the selection then your selection should looks like the as shown in the above figure. Then get the single column marquee tool and make a simple straight line around 15px far on the right side of the bu layer.
Now simply duplicate the bu and the glow layer and paste them aside to right with the right alignment as i have done in the figure above.
After adding the some text and some decoration, above is my result of the fantastic looking metallic navigation bar i hope your result will be the same if you have fallowed the instructions correctly.
