If you're using AW's templates and you want your description to have a <b>separate</b> background, then the easiest way would be to insert a table into your description field.
There, you can specify one (or more) of the following:
<ul>
<li>Table background color / image</li>
<li>Row background color / image</li>
<li>Cell background color / image</li>
</ul>
Actually, even if you're not using the templates this works well.
You can use: (replace "[" with "<", and replace "]" with ">", respectively.)
<pre>
[table border=0 width="100%" background="http://your.isp.com/background.gif" bgcolor="white"]
[tr]
[td]This is a table with a white background, and "background.gif" placed on-top.[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]
</pre>
or...
<pre>
[table border=0 witdh="100%"]
[tr bgcolor="red"]
[td bgcolor="green"]
This is a table which has a red background for it's row, and a green background for the cell contents, giving an effect of a red border around a green cell.
[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]
</pre>
Or...
<pre>
[table border=0 width="100%" bgcolor="red"]
[tr bgcolor="white"]
[td background="http://your.isp.com/flag.gif"]
This is a table with red background, and a row background of "white", and this text superimposed over a gif called "flag.gif".
[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]
</pre>
So, experiment. You'll find combinations that work best for you. <a href="http://www.w3.org/">This site</a> has many many useful information and everything you'd ever want to know about HTML.
P.s. Oh well, looks like HTML isn't allowed in these message posts.
