Good buttons in paint.NET

[Macaws]

Hello, everyone.
To use this TUT, you will ned:
-paint.Net

It should look like this:

Step 1:
Create a new doccument.

Step 2:
Make 2 new layers, and delete Background.

Step 3:
Make a filled Rounded rectangle on the bottom layer(white).

Step 4:
Set layer opacity to 160.

*Optional*
Use the glow effect on the bottom layer.
Radius: 10
Brightness: -100
Contrast: 0

Step 5:
On the top layer, create another rounded rectangle half-way on top of the other one.

Step 6:
Set layer opacity to 185.

Step 7:
Create new layer, on top. This is for text. I reccomend calibri, it looks mostly like vista, so it goes good with this button.

Step 8:
Save it as a 32-bit PNG. This is a semi-transparrent image.

Thank you,

Macaws

Very nice and simple tutorial. I usually do everything by learning on my own, but it will be very useful to others. :]
