All my whitespaces in VS code where code is written are being highlighted and I cant seem to understand where to change these settings.

In settings (open Command Palette CTRL SHIFT P and search for settings) menu search for Editor: Render Whitespace it is probably set to all instead of default selection. But i honestly have no idea why it is render with boxes and not dots or arrows, maybe it can be customized by using custom themes.

It was probably because of the theme the source was using from where I copied the source code. Replaced all these spaces with regular whitespace and now it's working fine.
