*show-parenthesis-matches-as-pop-up-window*

This global variable determines the technique that is used to draw a parenthesis-matching mark in a lisp-edit-pane. When nil, the mark is drawn directly on the lisp-edit-pane at the matching parenthesis. When true, a small pop-up window is placed over the matching parenthesis. The mark should look the same in either case, though when true the pop-up window will be hidden after *parenthesis-match-pop-up-milliseconds*.

This option could be enabled on any platform, though it is true initially only on the Mac OS X platform, due to not being able to draw directly on the window. If you prefer the marks to be visible only momentarily, then you may want to set the value of this variable to true on other platforms.

When using the pop-up window technique, the parenthesis-matching-style configuration option will have no effect, and the mark will always be drawn as if that option were :color-block.
