Default POINTUI vs. Wisbar Advanced Desktop

Hey guys,

This might seem like a random or misplaced question, but I am split between these two programs ...

So far ..

The big con for me for POINTUI is the inability to fully customize everything, including placing shortcuts for certain word documents in an easily accessible menu. Have you guys found the same?
The big con for WAD is the memory drain (or have you guys found the POINTUI to be about the same).However, the WAD is WAY WAY more customizable.

Some help about the two would be very very helpful.

I use Wibar Desktop and finally i prefer this for full customisation !!!
PointUi is very impressive but not customisable as well...

I ve created the VistaPhone with Wisbar... Style Iphone remix...

look screenshot... I used the PointUi wallpaper for joke...
1st = today - 2nd = Menu Page - 3rd = Apps 1 - 4 = Games... and more

Make a new map in the "windows/start menu/programs" folder Example "Docs"
Copy the word documents and paste the shortcuts in that folder. Then you can access them all the time. I still think PointUi is one of the best programs for wm devices ever made.

Go with pointui.. wisbar does have alot of customization but its almost too much. Its annoying to me. Go with pointui. They are improving on it everyday and it is free.

Yes but does it allow you to use today plug ins? I have many I want to use and can't with PointUI like I can with Wisbar Advance.

Even the new 1.02b doesn't seem to do this.

I just think you can't compare the 2 softwares..
PointUI is pretty new and developed only by one man. Let it do some work and i'm sure we'll see the best

My 2 cents.

PointUI - for entry level users, very user friendly, stylus-free. Great for beginners because of easy setup. Plug and play pretty much. UI is just great for show, but slows down device over extended use.

Wisbar - experience users and mod addicted users. Tons of setups and themes, but the outcome is very satisfying. May be a little much for beginners. Full front end customizable.

My opinion, wisbar hands down, its a little confusing at first, but I loved it ever since.

ViJay, you'll like PointUI for the first 24 hours, but the developer you are, its not up to standards, but then again, PointUI is only in its beginning stages.

Default WAD all the way

The customization ability in WAD is unmatched by any program. It does take some getting used to, but once you do you won't be able to use anything else. Also Chris (developer) is coming out with WAD2 sometime this month. He has talked about adding in some new features (effects) and reducing the footprint of WAD.
