Which GUI?

**gakhal79** · 07-02-2006,09:13 PM

Hello. I'm planning on installing either a Matrix Infinity or Crystal Chip. I was just wondering, which has a better GUI? The Infinity Manager or the BootManager. The main features I'm looking for are: nice/clean GUI, easy to use, and if possible which has more features. Please reply.

Major overhaul of Crystals boot manager due to be released in a few days, so you'll probably have to wait until then for a definitive answer

Very good point.

However as it is now the CC's BM is much better then the MI's Infinity manger. But you must not let this be your only consideration. When you replace the MI's Manger with ulaunchelf (ULE) you have a very powerful combination.

I cant wait to see what the new BM will bring us though! Hopefully HDD support and being able to flash the FW from MC.

Is the new CC firmware only for the CC 2.0 release? or for the recent CC versions,too? Also, are either BM or IM (infinity...) customizable i.e custom background image?

you should view this thread.

I have no personal experience with the bootmanager/crystal mod, I do know the infinity manager hasn?t been updated for awhile and you can not skin the infinity manager.

Seeing how the new BM has a release date and the CC2.0 is still a far off hope, I would assume that the new BM will work with current version of the CC.

The current BM and MI manger do not has skin support. Supposedly the new BM will have skinning support though.

However currently ULE IS skinable!!!!!
