The background images for the CSS are put into the images subfolder to make it easier to distinguish what is based on monobook, and what is extra

.message-box a:link, .message-box a:active, .message-box a:visited {color:#990000;text-decoration:none;border-bottom:1px solid #cccccc;}
.message-box a:hover {color:#990000;text-decoration:none;border-bottom:1px solid #990000;}
.message-success {font-weight: bold;border:1px solid #8FD500; background-color:#F2FFD7; background-image: url(images/check.gif);padding-left: 28px;}
