Change color of border and background on error blocks

Describe the solution you'd like?

Ability to turn off the the red background on the error blocks (blocks with commands that terminated with error code)

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The red background is unnecessary and to be honest annoying and distracting. I don't need the whole screen in a red background to know that I'm looking at the output of a failed command. All I need is the thin red line next to the block (and preferably, I'd be able to customize the color). The red background is too distracting.

Additional context

I find myself doing cmd+k too often to clear the terminal because the red background is annoying when I'm not reading that block and when I'm reading it - it just makes it more difficult to read

How important is this feature to you?

Please make this happen!

I really would have thought it would just be an option in the theme to choose a failed command background colour.

It is particularly annoying when I run a command with no switches to bring up the help page but then it gets that horrible red background and I can hardly stand to look at it compared to everything dark, let alone actually read what it says.

Related note, I have 4 indicators of a failed command. It just seems excessive. Red exclamation at the tab, red background, red glaring line down the block, and a change in emoji from Starship. I only need the change in emoji from Startship and all of the various red from warp-terminal can just go away.

Below is an example of what I mean:

It is also not always right that it failed. When I run WPscan without any errors then it still shows as failed and I get the red block, then I have to read through 100's of lines of output with the terrible red background. I end up having to export everything just to be able to read it. But, even when it is correct, troubleshooting is tedious enough without making it hard to read the errors.

Really seems obtuse that we would be able to theme the terminal, just for there to be some executive decision making to completely change the colours anyway.

I struggle enough with my eyesight that I find this to be almost a deal-breaker for this terminal, I can only imagine it is way worse for people with red-green colour blindness?

This is actually near a deal breaker for me as well. Was trying out warp recently, spent quite a bit of time on configuration so far, but there were a couple of things which were distracting and this was one of them
