NAME

6       Marco - The MATE Window Manager
7

SYNOPSIS

9       marco [OPTIONS]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Marco  is  a minimal X window manager that uses GTK+ for drawing window
13       frames. It is aimed at non-technical users and is designed to integrate
14       well  with  the  MATE  desktop. Marco is a plain window manager for the
15       adult in you; Many window managers are like  Marshmallow  Froot  Loops,
16       Marco  is like Cheerios. It lacks some features that may be expected by
17       traditional UNIX or other technical users;  these  users  may  want  to
18       investigate  other  available window managers for use with MATE or as a
19       standalone window manager.
20
21       Marco supports several somewhat advanced but common  features  such  as
22       Window  Shading/Roll-Up,  Window/Edge Snapping, Vertical and Horizontal
23       Maximize, Always-On-Top,  Sloppy/Mouse  Focus  and  Raising,  and  many
24       more... Well, not a lot, but some more.

69       tem->Preferences->Windows"  and  "System->Preferences->Keyboard  Short‐
70       cuts" or by running the commands mate-window-properties  and  mate-key‐
71       binding-properties  respectively.  Advanced  configuration  can also be
