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 man-
     ager.

     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.
