See here:
http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/09/19/background-color-to-text/

Note that when you apply various style commands to the same section, you don’t need separate div tags for each command. For instance, you’ve written this (with two closing div tags after the content):
```
<div style="color:#0000ff;">
<div style="overflow:auto;height:150px;">
```
It should be like that (with one closing tag after):
<div style="color:#0000ff;overflow:auto;height:150px;">
Same thing for any additional commands.

Also note that you can write your “First Entry”, “Second Entry” etc. as an unordered list; that way the content will be similar to lists in other widgets (bulleted in the theme you’re using). For unordered lists (and more) see here:

thanks ! thanks ! thanks !
I almost set fire to my house with smoke coming out of my brain,
but I made it to insert a background color to the widget.
Kindest regards.

@portaleazzurro: You’re welcome. But now I can only see color in your text widget – no scrollbox. Try this please:
```
<div style="border:solid 1px #999;color:#8f6f8f;white-space:pre-wrap;overflow:auto;height:130px;width:163px;background-color:#e6e8fa;margin-left:10px;padding:4px;">
CONTENT HERE
</div>
```
(Change the arbitrary colors and height, but don’t change the other stuff.)
