Compiler Output Missing Colors

[moefear85]

I'm coding in VSCode (ESP-IDF Extension), everything is latest version as of this date. In the past, on build errors, the compiler output was colored, so that errors were shown in red, warnings in purple/blue, etc. I was easy to quickly find the error lines.
After some point in the past, all the output is just pure white. It has become time consuming to find the specific error lines.

Is there a location to configure this? I checked the settings, but there seems nothing specific to the esp compiler output.
