To be in the centre you have to have 40 and 40), then realize a circle which almost covers the square and type the touch CANC of your keyboard to erase selection. Protect this file in the size gif optimized (by putting a colour of the outline of the circle as a background colour) by naming him for example square - circle.

Open new one square transparent bottom of 80 by 80 pixels, and copy / stick one of the circle which you have just created towards this square. Click again the icon Selection and this time, choose Etoile-1; Progressiveness: 1; mark Anti-alias. Position your mouse below to the right of your circle and form a star. Click the touch CANC of your keyboard to erase selection.

Because that it is necessary to take into account the width of borders scrolls, here is the good margins of the Message area: From Left: 130; From Right: 50; From Top: 230; From Bottom: 130. In this way the message will well be in the central zone and will allow me also to show enough the background. But you will be able to vary these margins according to your own requirements.
Let us not forget to put colours in Scrollbar by marking Overrid Scrollbar color and by choosing 2 colours in accordance with the other colours of the realization.
