Hi, I'm a newb and I would like to know how to reproduce this effect using Photoshop. I understand it can be done using CSS3 but that only certain browsers can actually create the effect.

I'm talking about the text drop shadows that are around all of the menu buttons (Active, Archived, Create New, Discount, Min, Sold, Status, Starting, Actions). It's so insanely subtle but I can tell that it's there. I know that there are certain areas that have gradients in them as well.

I have tried numerous times using the drop shadow tool to just put:

Blend mode: normal
Color: black
Opacity: Tried anywhere from 5 up to 100%
Tried using all kinds of angles, stuck with 90
Disabled and enabled global light

Distance: 1
Spread: 0
Size: 0

But also tried

Distance: 1
Spread: 1
Size: 0

What else am I missing out on? Please help me out, thanks!
