What is Extensions Strip?

Extensions Strip hosts control strip modules in the most flexible environment out there.  Its theme is "extensions with a global interface" because of the extra power it gives to modules, especially the Extensions Strip savvy ones.  Included in the package are two useful modules, a few icon themes, and developer stuff.

Control Strip is a control panel, found in Apple system software 7.5 and later, that installs a small floating window on your desktop.  Inside this floating window are various control strip modules.  These modules can tell you useful information and do handy things - all in a single mouse click.  Since they don't patch your System, you most likely will not encounter extension conflicts or crashes because of them.  Also, there are many freely available modules for download from Internet archives and such sites.

While Control Strip was a great idea for Apple to develop, they unfortunately didn't make it as flexible as most people want, and didn't give module programmers enough power to utilize more of what your system software is capable of.  This is the sole reason why Extensions Strip (abbreviated as ES) was written.
