It supports complete customization via the normal Field renderer method, see:

https://github.com/okfn/recline/blob/master/src/view.slickgrid.js#L77

And Field docs:

The question of editability etc is somewhat separate, atm the
slickgrid setup does not allow editability but re-adding that should
be very straightforward.
