This tutorial will teach you how to make a cool nav bar with buttons!
First of all create a new document and fill the background with a dark grey (My document is 430×130, and my background color is #161616)
Empty image, oh yeah! 
Make a new layer and make a selection sized 400×34, fill the selection with #393939
Apply the following Gradient Overlay.
Make a new layer and select the bar again, fill the area with a nice pattern.
(Note: The word ‘pattern’ above is a link
Change the layer opacity of this pattern layer to 30%.
Make a new layer again and with the Rectangular Marquee Tool make a set sized selection of 300×26 in the middle of the main bar.
Fill this selection with #161616.
Apply the following layer styles:
Inner Glow
Gradient Overlay
Stroke
Now what you need to do is create a selection 1×26, or just draw a line from the top of the 2nd bar to the bottom with the pencil tool. You can use any color.
Apply the following Gradient Overlay.
Duplicate the ‘indent’ layer and move it 81 pixels to the right, (Press the right key once, then hold shift and press the right key 8 times.)
Repeat that step once to the left, then maybe again.
I ended up with 4 indent lines, I merged them all and centered them.
After you merged the layers together change the layer opacity to 50%.
Make a new layer and zoom in on the left corner area, make a shape like so next to the left indent line (With the pencil tool):
Duplicate this layer, flip it horizontally and move it to the left side of the next indent line.
Merge these layers together then duplicate it, move it into the middle.
Do the same again and move it to the right.
Merge all these layers together and change the layer mode to Softlight and the opacity to 50%.
Make a new layer then get the Gradient Tool, using these options:
Make a gradient in the bottom middle sort of area:
Set the layer mode to Overlay and the opacity to 40%
Now you can add text!
Above I used:
Tahoma
12 px/pt
No Anti-Aliasing
#f6dc00
With this Drop Shadow
That’s it:
