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.
