Impulse Phase 2X Beta
Monday, November 17, 2008 by Frogboy | Discussion: Personal Computing
Impulse Phase 2 has gone into beta.
To get it, make sure you have the latest version (just open up Impulse).
Then go to preferences by clicking on the Stardock orb and choose "use Impulse betas" to get access to the latest/greatest editions.
Better. Stronger. Faster.
NOTE: The beta build removes the Impulse dock. We are going to release the Impulse dock as a free download later this week. This way, people who don't want the dock don't have to deal with it and the people who want it can get it.

OOOOH, me likey! 
I was able to hide the tabs I'll never use, change the options to show only installed programs, etc. etc. This is SOOO much cleaner. Well done!

The History link for applications doesn't seem to function anymore. I always like to check out what's changed in new versions.

Click the Stardock logo in the upper left corner. Select "More Preferences." On the general tab, the last check box is "Use beta versions of Impulse."

When I go into explore and try to go to the My Colors theme Encounters, Impulse closes down and then when asked to send an error report, it says it cannot due weberror report link is not valid, doesn't regonise it, then it asks me to restart without sending error report and it opens again, is this a problem my side or yours?????? I still can't get into store to buy anything

So far, so good. I kinda miss the black/orange theme....*sigh* but I can live with the blue

It crashes on me always and it gets an error when trying to send report to stardock.

I assume they'll have a few theme toggles coming in the future. This *is* Stardock, after all.

Updated with no trouble for me. But it's still crashing if I click on any game in the Store tab.

Everything is working perfectly so far. Went through the store, put stuff in cart and went to check out. All worked great. I liked the orange color better too. I wish we could make changes.
