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/".
