Marco has a man page (online here [1]). In a typical [censored]
style, Marco has no config file: its config is woven into the
dumpster fire^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H gconf database. As to
which config items there are relevant and what effect they
have, the man page implicitly seems to have the words "good
luck".

But perhaps, just perhaps, you manage to find there how title
bar fonts and colouring.

My favourite hypotheses are those two: Marco is using a font
to render those titles which it somehow can't display or it
is displaying things fine, but with the same foreground and
background colours.

But I'm more than willing to take a third hypothesis into my
collection :)
