options reset button
 

When there are events that overload a zone or many times when I am on a raid I need to turn my performace settings down from my custom setting that I use (basically extreme quality with some shadow and water settings turned off and a few other items tweaked up). It can get to be a real pain to have to go through every item and make sure it is set where I want it.

Is it possible that someone could create a window/button that either remembers the previous performance setting or just the custom setting specificly?

I don't know if you use a custom UI (or bits and pieces of stuff found here) or not, but I know ThorUI has a couple variations of a Start button that has exactly what you're looking for. It even has a program included which will allow you to set your own personal custom preferences/settings.

Here's a good mod for ya...
 

This start button is really nice and not only does what you want but has some other cool features like night vision and clicky use buttons.

There's also the PerformancePanel addon, which doesn't replace the start menu :)
