I've taken the time to do a quick mockup of what it will look like with some simple tweaking. Could you please tell me how i can achieve this?

Sorry, we're unable to assist with customisations like these due to time constraints. If we helped one person, we'd need to help everybody, etc. Sorry

The output of /me shouts are 100% intended, because they are designed to stand out from normal shouts.

The spacing would not work for sites that allow long usernames, you could potentially end up with a shoutbox that allowed 3 letters on one line before the shout wrapped.

Those customisations may work well on your site, but we cannot implement them into the base product because of the above concern - we need to cater to as many eventualities as possible

Basically, any improvements to make it look more like the shoutbox I linked to is appreciated.

Displaying the shout bar above or below the shout area is a Pro-only feature.

The smilie popup was designed to give you a better overview of all the smilies, it doesn't make much sense to see a random subset of smilies if someone is looking for a smilie and they just don't know the code.
You'd be asking your users to load up a thread in a new tab, open the smilie popup from there, find their smilie, go back to the shoutbox and enter the correct smilie code.
Chances are, the discussion will be long over by the time they have done all of that

That... is quite an odd request xD
It's sadly not possible as it's hardcoded in multiple locations to work with the markup username
