Ah, it was a matter of aesthetics. Initially I used the same display
elements the old Active Monitor had to display if a service was not
monitored ("grayed out"), "in the green", had a "yellow" or "red" status.

But that looked plain weird in the new GUI. As if it was a foreign
object that didn't belong there.

I then switched it to the CSS-styled buttons that the rest of the GUI
use to make it look like it belongs together.

What's left there is this: Right now "green status" is a blue button or
(in case of the "Active Monitor" menu entry) an oval with a blue
background and a star in it.

The GUI has several base colors that you can choose from in "Personal
Profile". In the next small update of the GUI the blue colored status
will instead take the color of the dominant color you've chosen in your
GUI customization. That way a yellow and a red status will immediately
stick out a lot more, while anything that's running fine will blend into
the background.
