Yet another one of my longer tutorials yet I believe, even those new to Photoshop will be able to easily finish this and learn to give depth to an interface.
So let's begin, shall we? Here is a screenshot of the final.
To begin, create a new canvas at a size of 500 x 258 with Black as your color. Then double click the background layer in the Layers Palette and click OK. This will unlock the layer for the next step..

|
|
|
|
Now right click on the background layer in the Layers Palette and select, "Blending Options...". Now click on " Gradient Overlay". |
| |
use settings at left |
Do not click "OK" yet. Still more to do. |
|
|
|
|
Now click on "Pattern Overlay". |
| |
use settings at left |
You may now click OK. |
|
|
You should now have the below image.
|
|
|
Next, select the "Elipse Tool". Draw a circle as illustrated using White as the color. Name this layer "Player Frame". |
|
|
|
|
Next we will need to move the left anchor point of the "Player Frame" layer. To do this select the "Direct Selection Tool"  and select the left anchor point as I have done below. Now, using the right arrow key and "Shift" key on your keyboard, move that anchor point to the right as indicated below. |
|
|
|
|
Now right click on the "Player Frame" layer in the Layers Palette and select, "Blending Options...". Now click on " Drop Shadow ". |

|
Now "Ctrl" click the "Player Frame" layer to create a selection around it. Then, go to the main menu and click on "Select" then "Modify" and then "Contract". Contract by 8 and click "OK". Create a new layer, named "Display" and fill with 604a27. Now deselect the selection. |
|
|
