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.
