Liliums

Oh, OK, I should have picked Draw Filled Shape. But how to do the rest?

Can somebody help me? pdnnoob was very helpful, but somehow all I got is this: And if you could also add how to make the bottom border of the rectangle white, I'd be very grateful!

Thank you sooo much! I did all that. However, the box wasn't filled with that dark grey colour. Should I use the bucket for that? And how do I draw that box so that the lower horizontal line becomes white? I draw a white line over the box's bottom border?

Could anybody tell me how do I make the transparent text box used for legends on this map, together white the white line and white square that points to the exact spot in Paint.NET? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12523669 Thank you! And that text just like in the bottom left corner (Microsoft)? I need some text effect?
