Any idea on how to make the matching look very pronounced. > show-paren-mode without additional configuration should be clearly visible, with or without (setq show-paren-style 'expression). Of course, if you do: (set-face-background 'show-paren-match (face-background 'default)) you will not see anything anymore. I would suggest: (set-face-background 'show-paren-match "green") (set-face-background 'show-paren-mismatch "red")
