> I have a simple ui\_table node, populated the way I want, so far so good. Now I want to colorize an entire row text, say when a button is pressed, until the table updates again. For example press button, row text is turned green. When the row in the table is refreshed the text returns to default color. I guess what I am struggling with is how to use ui\_control to drive the ui\_table colorization? I don't know if I am over thinking this, or what. Any help greatly appreciated. thanks.

(TLDR: It's hard right now but we're working on it)
