💖 MARCO-MESSAGE(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the marco-message manual page — it lives in the General Commands Manual section, and it's literally the cutest lil messenger for your window manager. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, we're doing this.

✨ NAME ✨

marco-message — a command to send messages to Marco. yes, that's it, that's the whole job, and it serves 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

marco-message [OPTIONS]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the marco-message command is how you whisper sweet nothings to Marco while he's already running — it does some simple window manager tasks for you. no big dramatic setup, no restarting everything like a menace, just little messages. it's giving convenient. periodt.

👑 OPTIONS 👑

every single one of these, in order, no gatekeeping:

  • restart — restarts a currently running instance of marco. yes, the whole thing, like a little reboot nap 😴
  • reload-theme — reloads the current window border theme that's specified in the dconf database. that theme lives at /org/mate/marco/general/theme ✨
  • enable-keybindings — enables all keybindings specified in the dconf database. the spot you're looking at is /org/mate/marco/ 🎀
  • disable-keybindings — disables all keybindings specified in the dconf database. again, /org/mate/marco/ 🙈
  • toggle-verbose — turns debugging messages for marco on or off. flips it like a light switch 💡
