Badge Customizer vs Boover

Have you ever wanted to change every aspect of your notification badges? Well the new Cydia tweak "Badge Customizer" lets you do just that. In late December 2012 there was a tweak release by Jonathan Winger Lang called "Boover", what Boover does is it changes the size and placement of your notification badges. Well "Badge Customizer" is almost a follow-up tweak with the same basic idea. Besides the fact that it has different developers and "Badge Customizer" can change the color, these tweaks are exactly the same. If I were to rate these two tweaks I would say "Badge Customizer" is better, just because it has more options to configure. There is one flaw in both of these tweaks tho, to choose the options you don't have a preview or anything of the such, you just have to try to imagine what the color or size may look like. The placement is pretty self explanatory, on Badge Customizer it has the options written in words, "top left, top center,top right, etc," Same goes for Boover. If I were to recommend one of these I would go with Badge Customizer. Now lets go onto the statistics.

Name: Badge Customizer                                      Name: Boover        

Description:                                                         Description: 
Change badge color, size, & position.                      Total control over your badges.

Truthfully, I do not know why BigBoss accepted both of these tweaks that are obviously just the same with one little effect added to Badge Customizer. Also, I'm supervised Boover didn't already have the option of changing colors already built into it. Feel free to share your opinions below. And follow me @Jailbr3akHelper
