if you were going to change the color of all the buttons on a skin w/ photoshop, would you do it like this,

Place a color overlay over a particular button.
COpy and paste layer style to all of the similar type buttons
Repeat for every style button

or is there a quicker/better way that I'm not seeing? I'm pretty new to PS. THanks.

If You apply a style to a particular button and then merge the layers it will apply the layer style to the merged layers, or do You want to keep each button on it's own layer?

Yeah, I really like keeping the PSDs fully layerized for future mods and such. But it's easy enough to just apply the layer style to selected or linked layers, I guess I was looking for a shortcut to having to sift through all the layers, select the proper ones, then copy paste layer style, then, copy the layer style of the differnt buttons/controls and go through it agaiin. Thanks for the reply though!!

Yeah, I just copy the style and paste to each layer if they aren't merged.

or theres the quick/dodgy way....

go to Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation

and adjust the sliders...

(this doesnt affect layer styles though)
