I made the gradient pretty easily, all i did was copy the black border, cut it from the layer, and pasted it into a new one, i made a new blank layer underneath the layer with the boarder in it, and i made the boarder in this layer a color that was close to the gradient color, and from there on, i used the glow effect in Paint.net till it looked as good as i could get it, then i changed the hue a bit, and the saturation, and adjusted some other stuff and soon, it became what it is! :D
