Hello Gabriel,

and thanks for the pointers, with them I managed to complete the task
of controlling row appearance! (For those who may wonder; the
resulting "status_up" and "status_down" render a row white with no
spinner (final state), "status_unknown" renders a row pale yellow with
spinner.)

I actually had looked at the calculate_row_status() and
get_row_status_class() functions of class DataTable before, but I did
not connect them with row state, probably due to the status naming of
True, False, None and "status_up", "status_down",  "status_unknown". I
expected to find something to describe state machine state, like final
(white row) and intermediate states (yellow row).

If you want fine-grained control over which statuses are considered "good", "bad" or "unknown" you can use the status_choices keyword argument as well. Docs for that are here: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/horizon/ref/tables.html#horizon.tables.Column.status_choices
