inlay hints for Rust development with Visual Studio Code

Open Settings.json and enter the following.

I am using Darcula theme so I am wrapping colorCustomizations inside that key.

You can remove that key if you want color customizations to be applied across all themes.
Change color for typeForeground and typeBackground to your likings
Uncomment line which has offUnlessPressed to toggle inlayHints upon keypress ctrl + alt

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
  [Darcula]: {
      "editorInlayHint.typeForeground": "#525252",
      "editorInlayHint.typeBackground": "#2D2D2D"
    },
  }

"[rust]": {
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "rust-lang.rust-analyzer"
    // "editor.inlayHints.enabled": "offUnlessPressed"
},
"rust-analyzer.inlayHints.bindingModeHints.enable": false,
"rust-analyzer.inlayHints.closureReturnTypeHints.enable": "never",
"rust-analyzer.inlayHints.typeHints.enable": false,
"rust-analyzer.inlayHints.parameterHints.enable": false,

This is how it looks after inlay hints setting change.
