This effect makes your layer look like refractive glass. It bends the view through the glass using a cube map, so add a cube map layer and select it in the third texture slot (use the Select cube map layer... button). Use the FX REFRACTIVE INDEX prop to set the glass type (air 1.0, water 1.33, glass 1.5, diamond 2.4) and the FX DISPERSION prop for rainbow colour fringes. Use the FX TINT STRENGTH prop together with the layer material colour to make coloured glass. Use the FX OPACITY prop to blend the front of the glass with its back, and the FX FROST prop for frosted glass. The normal map in the second texture slot distorts the refraction, for example for rippled glass. Without a cube map a simple sky gradient is used.
For the start download sample show with the effect for free and give it a try.
