enabling configure requires store access. The message you need to do that is not in red and therefore hard to notice.

Description

Brief description of your issue
image

As you can see, I tried to enable configure. But since I am not logged into the store, it was unsuccessful I guess. but it was not obvious since the error was not really highlighted.

I recommend making the error red.

Steps to reproduce

see above

Expected behavior

error in RED

Actual behavior

error subtle in white

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Reproduce the configure command without Store access, then trace where its error message is rendered and identify the existing output-color handling. Done means the Store-access error is clearly displayed in red and the behavior is covered by an appropriate test if one exists.
