| Customization | IceWM is configurable and themeable, and the site says more than 450 themes are available to download. | The bar can be placed on any screen edge and customized with Mac or Windows highlight styles, tint, transparency, blur, and icon size. |
| Purpose | IceWM is a window manager for the X Window System designed for speed, simplicity, and not getting in the user’s way. | WinBar replaces the macOS Dock with a Windows-style taskbar. |
| Support | The site directs users to report bugs on GitHub and links to manual pages, a manual, and an FAQ. | The seller says it usually replies to purchase, license, refund, or data questions within one business day. |
| Window management | It supports keyboard and mouse controls, Alt+Tab switching, a window list, and several configurable focus models. | WinBar keeps windows clear of the bar and fits them to the available space. |
