In the following steps you will learn how to create a simple set of glowing buttons. It’s another tutorial that focuses on the Appearance panel as the entire button is created using only one shape with multiple fills and strokes plus some simple effects. Step 1 Create a 600 by 300px, RGB document, pick the Rectangle Tool (M) and create a shape the size of your artboard. Fill it with R=49 G=52 B=57, remove the color from the stroke and focus on the Appearance panel (Window > Appearance). Add a new fill for this shape using the Add New Fill button.

Enter the data shown below and click OK…
