WISbar, vBar, ICbar - which one do you use

[NorthPole76]

Hi,
almost everybody using a pocket pc is also using either WISbar, ICbar, vBar or the like.

What are you using?

Don't forget the Giga series (Gigabar, Gigatask). I tried a bunch of these, and was about to stick with vBar (I like the simplicity and cost), but then found it was incompatible with ListPro, which I use too heavily. I've since switched to Gigatask and just bought it. I like the fact that it's basically iTask + Close button replacement, and it works really well. (While I used to play with skins, I don't care for them anymore )

Giga-series:

no, i am not forgetting about all the giga's out there. but i wouldn't really compare the GigaBar (series) and WISbar (series).

WISbar uses far less resources than GigaBar. (actually vbar is the "slimest" program)

i was using wisbar for a while but it became screwy!!! i would hit the volume button and the next appointment icon would come up. so...i switched to icbar and the same thing happened. but i was able to work around it by switching the functions of the different icons. so far so good with icbar.

I am fully aware of that. But your idea of non-comparability doesn't work IMHO. For example, vBar is not really comparable to WISbar - it's not a full start bar replacement, just a task manager.

And don't forget Gigatask. GigaTask is one step up above vBar, and doesn't eat up resources. In fact, GigaTask can best be summarized as (iTask+vBar)++.

And the best thing is, it doesn't mess with the PPC2002 notification area.

So to say those two don't belong in the poll makes it incomplete, in my opinion.

Nobody else using pocketnav from http://www.scottandmichelle.net/scott/cestuff.html?

Small and doing the essential? Or am I missing something?

That's a good addition, actually. I tried it and had problems with my 3870 (can't remember the details anymore), so I dumped it. Since it's free though... it doesn't hurt to try.

Mobitools http://www.ppclink.com/xOff.html works fine on my device, quite convenient and very small.

I used to use Pelmar, but I switched to GigaTask and just love it.
