Styling and transforming menu objects
About predefined styles
Styles let you quickly change the appearance of a layer or object in a menu. Styles are predesigned Photoshop layer
effects, such as shadows, glows, bevels, overlays, and strokes, that you can apply to most layers in a menu. Once
applied, the effects are linked to the object. When you move or edit the object, the effects change with the object.

layer, except subpicture highlight layers—layers with the (=1), (=2), or (=3) prefix. When styles are applied to layer
sets or buttons, they affect the layers within the set according to their style category. The layers they affect depend
upon the category:
Image Applies the style to all layers in a layer set (except highlight layers).
Tex t Applies the style to the first text layer in a layer set that is not a highlight layer.
Shapes Applies the style to the first shape layer in a layer set that is not a highlight layer.
Styles generally fully replace any existing effects applied to a layer. The Styles panel includes a few styles that add to
the existing effects in a layer rather than completely restyle it. Additive styles have a plus sign (+) at the beginning of
their names. You can create your own styles and add them to the Styles panel, or group styles into sets. (See “About
creating styles” on page 113.)
