NAME

       Marco - The MATE Window Manager

SYNOPSIS

       marco [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       Marco  is  a  minimal  X  window  manager  that  uses GTK+ for drawing window frames. It is aimed at non-
       technical users and is designed to integrate well with the MATE desktop. Marco is a plain window  manager
       for  the  adult in you; Many window managers are like Marshmallow Froot Loops, Marco is like Cheerios. It
       lacks some features that may be expected by traditional UNIX or other technical users;  these  users  may
       want to investigate other available window managers for use with MATE or as a standalone window manager.

       Marco  supports several somewhat advanced but common features such as Window Shading/Roll-Up, Window/Edge
       Snapping, Vertical and Horizontal Maximize, Always-On-Top,  Sloppy/Mouse  Focus  and  Raising,  and  many
       more... Well, not a lot, but some more.

       This manual page documents the marco command.

CONFIGURATION

       Marco configuration can be found via  the  main  MATE  menus,  under  "System->Preferences->Windows"  and
       "System->Preferences->Keyboard  Shortcuts"  or  by  running the commands mate-window-properties and mate-
       keybinding-properties respectively. Advanced configuration can also  be  achieved  directly,  via  dconf-
       editor under "/org/mate/marco/".
