inlay hints are a visual distractor

[kynnyhsap]

i use catppuccin mocha theme in zed and when i tried to enabled inlay hinds i noticed that they are just a regular white color indistinguishable from variables, which makes it hard to read the code because i can't what what is type annotated manually and what is not

code without inlay hints

code with inlay hinds

in the intelliji they look like a badge or a faded comment, i prefer the grayish comment style inlay hints.

oh interesting, thanks for submitting this issue. I see it on my end as well: I normally don't enable this feature.

will investigate how I could fix this. the built in Zed Syntax debug tree doesn't give a hint as to what colors this 😅

[tecandrew]

One Dark and Dracula theme seem to have this colored correctly. this should be an easy fix

found a fix, but also noting down some strange behavior with how inlay_hints are colored by default from Zed:

hint: affects both inlay_hints and the git blame coloring. the inlay_hints color doesn't respond well to defined hex alpha values to reduce opacity, but the git blame stuff does 🤔
