Do you mean to build that into the widget that displays the news?

We are currently using the QTextBrowser widget to show the news.  It
is fairly limited, so I doubt that we could use HTML or css tricks to
get the sort of background you are describing.  And I'd rather not add
webkit as a dependency.
