Here's a little tut for ya: 1. Open a 256px by 256px transparent backgrounded document. 2. Make a perfect circle of any color by either using Elliptical marquee Tool (M) or Ellipse Tool (U).Name this layer as Cirlce. 3. Go to the Blending Options of Circle layer and set these values:    4. Now Ctrl+Click on the Circle layer to load its selection and go to Select>Modify>Contract.Type 2 and hit enter. 5. Without deselecting, create a new layer (Ctrl+Shift+N) and name it Gloss.Select Gradient Tool (G) and make White as your foreground color.Set these settings in the Option Bar:  6. Now make two radial gradients.One from top and other from the bottom.  Reduce the opacity of Gloss layer to 75%. 7. You will get an image like this one:  8. Place any picture or icon (Tux G2 for instance) below the Gloss layer and transform its position/size according to the size of the document.Here is my final result:  My result,on the tiles of two color, looks like this:  and Im sure that it will look better on multiple color wallpapers. Im waiting for your reply and cool results as well
