I don't understand why people think Impulse is bad. There's nothing about it that even resembles adware. [e classic]:-|[/e]

Redneck, you really need to do something about them ticks!
Older docks still work fine.
Almost all of the screenshot worthy progress has been done. I'm at a point where all of the boring nitty-gritty needs to be done. However, I'd say that the W7 & Vista styles are probably 80% done. Then I'll have to do XP.
[quote]stmg new...maybe...from u beta testers[/quote] Not everyone has screen recording software...
[quote]ah cmon guys...some video ...can any1 record it..for youtube...like a review or smtg...want to se OD 2.0 in action[/quote] https://forums.wincustomize.com/378475
[quote]so i notice that i made a systray dock only, but when i make it small the background image is cut off[/quote] That is most likely an issue with the coding of that particular background.
Also, since we're talking about running indicators... There doesn't seem to be an option to choose one. [e digicons]:S[/e]
1. Windows used to minimize to the dock, now they minimize to the taskbar. 2. The minimize/maximize animation is rough and choppy. This happens the same on 2 different machines. 3. Any chance of getting "Categories" from the Dell Dock as a new feature in OD 2.0? Please oh please? 4. It would be really nice to be able to have reflections on any zoomer, regardless of whether it's in the .ini code or not; just like you can with the tabbed backgrounds.
[Feature Request] It would be nice to be able to access the W7 jump lists through the dock icons. Maybe a right-click on a dock icon could produce a jump list, and one of the options on the jump list could be "ObjectDock settings."
[Tabs] Custom +/- images do not seem to work. I have tried re-directing the code in the .ini to point toward "ObjectDockPlus2\Backgrounds," but this did not work.
You can drag your start menu icon wherever you want to on the dock.
Tulsaboyw, OD 2.0 beta is available now.
[quote]Well....on x64 that's true....BUT.....[/quote] Thanks, Lantec! I'm gonna try that!
[quote who="HeldvomFeld" reply="29" id="2578466"]how do i get stacks docklet to work again?? and what about making icons reflective?? wasnt that supposed to be in v2[/quote] Download the stacks docklet here: http://www.aqua-soft.org/forum/topic/51400-stacks-docklet-20/ It seems as though, with zoomers, the reflection commands have to be written into the code for that particular dock. Apparently
[quote]Right Click has soemthing like this although not the jump list feature.[/quote] Yes, but RC doesn't play well with W7...
[quote]So at all : Did You install it parallel to 1.9 ? Or does it update ?[/quote] I didn't want to risk a conflict, so I backed up my theme, then uninstalled 1.9 through Impulse, then installed 2.0. Surprisingly though, 2.0 knew what my last theme was before I had a chance to load it! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
[quote]Yeah, I upgraded...but still not listed.[/quote] It will be listed in the "My Programs" tab. Make sure that under the view option you have "hide non-installed applications" unchecked. Also, as stated above, make sure that, under the blue menu tab, you are set to view beta and pre-release versions of programs.
You don't have to view the advertising. I keep mine on the "My Software" tab. And you can de-activate the taskbar ads too.
[quote]Just a thought, might it have something to do with the Win7 start menu being able to expand? [/quote] Fred, you're smarter than you let on! [e digicons]:rofl:[/e] The expanded start menu state (from the docklet) looks just fine. But looks crappy again when it reverts back to normal size.
[quote]Regarding the right panel of the start menu... sadly this might be the reality.[/quote] Okay, then here's an "outside the box" idea: For one, I've always thought it was hokey to have your start menu just kind of pop up above your dock when using a launcher. Just my opinion. I think it looks wierd when out of place (ie- normal windows position). What if, instead of the actual start menu, there were a type of start menu launcher that displays your start menu items
In short, Yes. You have nothing to be afraid of with Impulse. It is Stardock's installer/uninstaller/update utility. It is a wonderful program, it is not spyware, and I enjoy using it. Impulse has made my life so much easier since its release. Don't worry.
I am extatic to be able to use the system tray dock again! [e digicons]\o/[/e] One small request: The icons can only be shrunk to 32 pixels. Any way we can go smaller on that? Sys tray icons usually look crappy at larger sizes, even at 32.
Okay, so the Start Menu "works," but is not very pretty... Running W7 Pro x64. This is how the Start Menu is supposed to look: And this is how it looks when using the Start menu launcher in the dock: This happens with every WindowBlinds skin that I have tried.
