Previously, the "Service status" setting in the single metric dashboard widget had no effect. While the setting was visible in the widget wizard, it was not wired up to the widget content, so the service status was never displayed regardless of the configuration.

This has been fixed. The single metric widget now offers the same service status options as the gauge widget: a colored status label (for all or only non-OK states) and an optional colored metric background.
