try useing the idea of the glass text on a square and play with the settings opacity blend modes ect…?

that just looks like a rounded box filled with gradiant and with a inner stroke and drop shadow.

then it has another box inside with a linear gradiant.

then ur buttons and fetures ect…

just try breaking the image down from wat u see and build it up again sorry i cant fully explain cos i aint a FW user but ur just going to have to play around with what you know.

sorry.

edit] turns out i have FW on my pc so i gave it a quick try im sure u can do better with more time as mine is rather shoddy.

looks to me more like a metal plate. Aint the actual skin called “metal brushed” or some-other “metal “…””? if so search creating a metal texture in fireworks with google
