Hi,
One possibility would be to use the Rounded Rectangle tool to place
the shape you want the effect. Then in layer styles under advanced
blending set the fill opacity to 0 - this is where the transparency
shapes layer will come into play. Then enable Outer Glow and under its
settings change the opacity to 100 and the color to black. You can
tweak size, spread and profile to get the look you're after.

Good luck,
Ron

Hello, thanks for your answer. I have tried but the effect is different from
mine. In my example we have two lines, one black and one white, each one of
1 pixel. The two lines exchange, and create the effect. Infact on the upper
side the black line is above the white line. In the lower side the black
line is under the white line. In your example the lines mantain their
position.

Ok, I have something for you but I don't think your going to like it.
Just as before set the outer glow so it forms a one pixel perimeter
around the rounded rectangle.
Now group that layer into a smart object then add another style to it.
Again set the fill opacity to zero under advanced blending options.
Then add a drop shadow with these settings:
Color - black
Opacity - 100
Global light - default is 120° - this can be used to move the white
line's relationship to the black one.
Distance - 1
Spread - 0
Size - 0
No anti-aliasing

Then, still in the style, add a stroke with these settings:
Color - white
Size - 1
Position - inside
Blend - normal
Opacity 100
Fill type color

This gets very close the your effect but it's not perfect.

Good luck,
Ron
