MARCO(1)                    General Commands Manual                   MARCO(1)

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.


OPTIONS
       -d, --display=DISPLAY
              X display to use.

       --sync
              Make X calls synchronous.

       --sm-save-file=FILENAME

              session/saved-session/

       -c, --composite

              with composite "true transparency" effects.

       --no-composite

              marco without compositing effects.

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/".
