Well a glossy effect will require using art. The addon by itself can do (for art) solid colors, gradients, borders and opacity. A gloss look will require using textures.

To start with you need to make a layout.

Type /kgpanels config
In the general options section select layout. On the right enter a name for the layout and click create.

Then go down to active panels (there wont be any yet as you haven't created any).
Click active panels. Enter a name for the panel. You can either click create or create using defaults. The second option is if you took the time to set up default properties for a panel in the default panel options menu. It is not necessary it just saves time if you need to make many panels of a similar type.

Once created you can alter the look of the panel with some of the first options. Select the panel you made from the list. Go to color and opacity settings and play with the settings to see how they effect the panel.

You can also click the little + symbol to open additional options for the panel. texture options will allow you to change the texture the background uses as well as the border. This is where you can set the panel to use any custom art you have informed the addon about.

Start with those options listed above first. Play around with the settings to see what they do. Once you have done so post back with additional questions you might have.

Once you have those options figured out (or questions answered) I will show you how to import art to the addon so you can add some.
