Hi,

I don't think the rss ticker is able to show the descriptions, just the titles.

I found that doing this in your own webpage works and has much more style control.  The two links below are very useful pieces of javascript and php to create a scrolling rss.  Combine the javascript with rss2html.php code template formatted into a single line and you should be very happy and not have to pull your hair out like I did.
