Here's How:

1, With CS4 open, create a new file

Note

I've selected a relatively small resolution of 240x240, any resolution works

2, Select the 'Rectangle' tool and draw a new 'Rectangle/Square' then click on a style

Note

For this i'm using the 'Paperclip' style

3, In the right-hand panel (with the new layer selected), right-click the layer & select 'Blending Options'

4, Click on the 'Stroke' section then the 'Gradient' fill section

Tip

You need to click within the Gradient to get the custom gradient options

5, You need to double-click each small box (highlighted) and change the colour to one of your choice

Once done, your new gradient is ready, just click 'OK' then 'OK'

6, Next, click the dropdown next to the styles selection on the right-hand panel and click 'New Style' and name the new style

7, Next, in order to have the new style(s) in order, click the dropdown again and select 'Preset Manager'

You can now drag & drop the styles as you see fit

That's all there is to it

Enjoy
