MARCO(1)MARCO(1)NAME
Marco - The MATE Window Manager
SYNOPSISmarco [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.
