Row background color in dataTable control based on criteria

Question

It is relatively straightforward to give a pattern of color to rows in a dataTable control, for instance to alternate colors from white to gray.
However, I have not yet figured how the row background color could be decided based on data fields associated with each row. For instance, I would like to set the row background color based on the value of a boolean attribute associated with the row, e.g. white if value is false and gray if it is true.
Is there an easy way to do this?

of the text, but not the whole cell. I need to find a
way to change the span at the row level (on the <tr>
tag). ANy ways to do this?
MartinThis is a question of how to let the renderer adjust its behaviour depending on the current state of the model. My renderer changes the background for the selected row by changing the style class:
        writer.startElement("tr", table);
          if (table.getRowSelector())
               if (table.isAtSelectedRow())
                    writer.writeAttribute("class", "selectedRow", null);
etc.(of course, to be able to do this you must write your own renderer)
