Impulse dock icons stripping

October 23, 2009 11:24:02 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

I haven't used the Impulse dock since  back when it had the conflict with running it and Impulse together because I stick with ObjectDock on my laptop and hadn't gotten around to putting a dock back on my desktop since I barely use it.

Last night I decided to see if it was working again by installing it on my XP desktop.  Everything seems to be working great except for the fact that if I right click one of the entries and go to edit and try to use one of the included icons (which show up fine in that window)  it ends up showing the icon on the dock as a tiny strip.  When I go to the folder where the icons are kept they are also in a strip format there. Just wondering where the problem is because I remember the icons working fine when the dock was first introduced but I don't remember if the icons showed as a strip in the folder they are located in back then or not.

ok couldn't find an Impulse section to put this in initially so thought the docks section would be the best one. Decided to try moving it to the Stardock Support section even though there isn't an Impulse or dock section here in hopes of it getting answered. Thanks.

Now I'm starting to understand why some of those people, who I tell to be patient when I see them making assholish comments about getting ignored, feel as if their posts/questions are being ignored.

Official support has always been an email to support@stardock.com .

While we always try to monitor the forums (especially the ones labelled support) it  is not official support.

Now is the time to email.

yes. thank you Zubaz. I know that and I wasn't saying that they're right to make the comments they do just that after a post going 10 days with no response I can see where they'd think they're being ignored when in actuality it's just that the right person hasn't looked at it yet.

Last I checked the Icons for Impulse Dock were stored as bit strips, but it accounted for this when applying them through the app itself.  If you apply them as images by browsing you may see this.

I actually installed the Impulse dock on Win 7 yesterday and it is also showing them as strips in the dock on that OS too.And yes I am applying them through the app itself.

And just after I posted that I thought of trying something I hadn't tried before. Here is where the problem is.

If you add a new category to the dock by right clicking and then going to Add> Category and choose an icon from the dialog for it it applies fine and appears as it does in the dialog window.

If you drag and drop something onto the dock and then go to edit to try and use one of the included icons then it does this.
