History
ECS has been based on a program I released a few years age: ecs.exe. Due to a fatal system error I lost all ecs related sourcecode and I stopped working on the project.
About half a year later, a distribution-request by West reached my inbox. He was actually enhancing his themes with the exe version and asked me if packing the exe with his theme is ok.
I remembered the restrictive license I used back then and somehow I felt the time had come to deliver a promise I allready made to the litestep community years ago: recode ECS to create a litestep module with all bangs and full rc-file support.
This project would have never become what it is today thank's to the help of some people:
- First of all, Will Masters for providing the domain name and webspace I currently use.
- Mattias Westlund (West) for motivating me to start coding a litestep module again and for all his feedback on the first test-builds as well as his suggestions related to the !bang and RC command related naming conventions. Also thank's to his wife and their four cats, since they allowed him to spend some time on feedback and stuff!
- The one and only Paul Hale for being who he is, for spending hours reading my e-mails, for telling the Litestep community about the module and it's progress, for distributing knowledge and the module to sites and people around the globe, for nagging me until I finally took care of the fontsize anoyances. Also thank's to his wife and kids, since they allowed him to spend so much time on geeky stuff like this litestep module!
- Fractal Design for asking for the icon metrics functionality that motivated me to enhance ecs with yet another useable implementation.
- Last but not least, all you users out there. You are the people who give the module life... now go play with it!
Thank you!
