Still Having Data Grid Row Coloring Problems

Not exactly.  What I'm trying to do is color each line depending on the 
contents of a field of the database.  This system tracks inmates and 
they can be either released, in-custody, out-to-court, etc. and each one 
of these would have a different color so you can see without having to 
read a field someone's current status.  I've used this color coded 
system for over 10 years and it's quite popular with customers because 
it requires them to think less.

This worked just like I wanted with one exception which I may not be 
able to get (and I'm VERY happy with just having the colored lines).  
You already have a column separator line but it would be much easier to 
read across (this list takes almost 2/3rds of the screen width) if there 
were row borders too.  Is there some way to get both colors AND row 
separator lines?  I noticed that the alternating row colors kind of does 
this for you but it's not quite the visual effect I was after.
