Research direction

Start by reviewing the documentation and source around prompt validation rendering and the ValidationError message parameter. Determine whether the highlighted error box style is configurable and, if not, clarify the desired configuration behavior before defining an implementation and focused test.

Description

I searched the docs and the source but can't figure out if it's possible to format the way a prompt handles validation errors. Right now it outputs them in a highlighted box with white text. Can I change that style? Passing formatted text to the message param of ValidationError raised an error that it was expecting a string.
