Slim button
1. Make new layer.
2. Use rounded rectnagle tool, swich on fill pixels on the top let and to make slim rectangle

3. Edit/Free transform, or Ctrl+T, and with holding Shift, click on bottom two corner points

4. Double click on the layer to call Layer style window, set as following


(in Color Overlay section set color to 6dfae5b)

5. Here it is, nice piece of plastic.

What I also did is I created layer from the effects, and transformed the drop shadow one a bit.

Enjoy.

Thank you for expressing your opinion. I must admit that I tried to make only a few button tutorials and I know that they are not that excellent. We try to have something in every section. If you didnt like this one, that is your opinion. I deem you should be more tolerant though. I dont question your ultimate skills in PS, you surely ase an awesome person and graphic.
