The only chance you have is working with regions. You will need to hardcode a bit and play with subtract, but eventually it will look fine. You can take a look at how it's done in mylyn's notification class: http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/eclipse.org/3.6/org.eclipse.mylyn.commons/ui/3.4.0/org/eclipse/mylyn/internal/provisional/commons/ui/AbstractNotificationPopup.java

Hope it helps, best of luck!
