How to make a rounded corner with a gradient background

I'm trying to figure out how to make a rounded corner that will have the shade affect of the background gradient color. I know how to make a gradient background. And as far as the rounded corner, its just using the "Rounded Rectangle" button. My problems is how to add a shade that is also gradient like the background but a little darker. I've included a sample (just one side to show what i mean)

Im only interested in the outer rounded corner with the bluish gradient.

Thanks

This is based on my belief that you are referring to the

drop-shadow effect around the white rounded rectangle.

Make the background gradient.

On a new layer, make a white rounded rectangle in the size and shape that you want.

Duplicate the layer.

In the Layers window, click the lower white rounded rectangle layer, then:

Adjustments > Invert Colors

Next:

Effects > Blurs > Gaussian Blur --- Radius: 2 to 4

Press F4, and move the Opacity slider to adjust the darkening effect.
