Double-click on the Gradient Overlay style name in the Layers palette. The Layer Style dialog will appear, with Gradient Overlay selected. Click on the Gradient patch to bring up the Gradient Editor.
Double-click on the color patches underneath the gradient bar in the Gradient Editor and set them both to white.Click on the patch above and on the left-hand side of the gradient bar -- this is the left opacity stop. Set its Opacity field to 0%, as shown.
Click OK to exit the Gradient Editor, and again to apply the new style.In the Layers palette, change the fill for the shape to 0%. This will allow the button on the bottom layer to show through, as shown here.
With the highlight layer selected, open Edit > Free Transform or press Ctrl-T (Command-T on a Mac). A bounding box will appear around the highlight. Click on the bottom edge of the bounding box, and drag it upwards to squash the highlight a little bit.Next, click on the right- and left-hand sides of the bounding box, and drag the edges of the highlight until they are just inside the button layer. Your highlight layer should look something like the one shown in the graphic here. Apply the transformation by double-clicking inside the box, or pressing Enter (Return on a Mac.)
Switch to the Direct Selection Tool (A). Click and drag the bottom edge of the highlight path upwards to flatten it, as shown below. Use Ctrl-+ (Command-+ on a Mac) to zoom in if you need to.
We're finally ready to add the text! Create a text layer in between the highlight and button layer and type in your text. I've used a dark blue color for mine. I've also added a subtle drop shadow style to my text using the settings shown in the example below.
At this point, we've got a snazzy aqua button that will work well on most web sites, but since we've made a habit of taking things those few steps further, why stop now? Let's make our button look like it's been embedded into the page. Duplicate the button layer and drag it to the top, above the other layers. Let's call this top layer emboss; your Layers palette should now look like the image shown here.
Hide all the layer styles on our emboss layer by clicking their respective eye icons in the Layers palette. Open the Layer Style dialog by clicking on the Add a layer style button at the bottom of the Layers palette and selecting Bevel and Emboss… from the menu that appears. Select Pillow Emboss from the Style drop-down menu and change the technique to Chisel Hard. Set the Size to 2px and the Angle to 90°.
Towards the bottom of the dialog you'll see opacity fields for Highlight Mode and Shadow Mode. Set both of these to 93%.Finally, apply a stroke to the edge of the button. You should be familiar with this by now! Select Stroke from the Layer Style dialog and give your button a 1px black stroke with 60% opacity, as shown in the dialog here.
Click OK to apply the layer styles.Let's change the Fill of the emboss layer to 0%, as shown, so that the button layer beneath it can show through. Our embedded aqua button is complete! This image shows our normal and embedded aqua buttons.
