How to disable Emacs highlighting whitespace in parenthesis?

emacs, parentheses, whitespace

Solution

Unfortunately the solution given by Ignacy Moryc, didn't help me, but this one helped:

(setq sp-highlight-pair-overlay nil)

Problem

In the above screenshot, it can be seen that Emacs highlights the whitespace between parentheses, unless I move my cursor one place to either side. I have smartparens enabled in my emacs config, but even if I disable them, this problem still persists. I also don't have whitespace-mode enabled. Any idea what may be causing this? The relevant part of my config: ``` (require 'smartparens-config) (smartparens-global-mode t) (show-smartparens-global-mode t) ``` Thanks.
