I've searched and searched, but I'm looking to find a tutorial on how to make the outside border of the Settings app icon in iOS. Or the whole icon, I like the effect.

  • First google result for "ios settings icon tutorial" is vector.tutsplus.com/tutorials/icon-design/… Have you tried this tutorial? Granted, it's an Illustrator tutorial, but the steps are fairly similar in photoshop.

  • I tried that, I tried every combination of keywords on google, and none of them were what I was looking for Commented Feb 24, 2012 at 4:13
  • Can you please update your question with what you have tried already and why it didn't work? Your question is extremely vague...

All you really need is a Layer Style stroke to create the border.

Set the stroke to a gradient under Fill Type, pick a good grey and white gradient... then adjust the stroke width to control the size of the border.
