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.

I'll keep an eye out for it. Will it show up as 'available' Impulse? And please say it will be independently configurable, can be displayed with small or large icons (sized to fit), can be toggled between icon+text or icon only and can be docked to any edge. Other than that, I don't expect much.

For those of you looking for the dock, here's a copy of a post I made on another board:
------
Come n get it 
Impulse Dock:
https://store.stardock.com/product.aspx?productid=ESD-SDD-W738
Its a free registration... just click "Add to Account" with your account email address, load up Impulse and the Impulse Dock will be available for download in the "My Desktop" area. After installing, the next time you load Impulse you'll see a "minimize to dock" button in Impulse again, or just run it at any time to have it come up.

hmm, i see Supreme commander in that lil picture.. i have that game but doesnt show up no my impulse >.> do i have to add it or anything???
It will only show in Impulse if you purchased it from Impulse. It will not detect your retail installation.
Wrong, Make a shortcut to the retail version of Supreme Commander then drag the Icon into the Games tab in Impulse. There you go.

It may be running but you cant see it. Try a few things. Right click its tab and try to maximize or restore. Go to the task manager and try switching to the program. If that doesnt work find it in the program list and shut it down, then try to open it again. This happens to me once in a while.

Can the Impulse dock be made to be able to open when other windows are maximized?

Try playing with the autohide and edge activation options (by right clicking)

Is the non-beta version of Impulse supposed to kill the Dock, too? Disappeared here.
