I didn't get as much time to work on this the last couple days as I would have liked. Other than that things are looking good. It's slow going beccause of the fact that I know almost nothing about this stuff. So each little step takes alot of learning. The good news is that after that it gets easier.
The UI buildier alone is a best, there are so many things about it that can scew you up if your not careful.
It's a pretty neat tool, but the learning curve is a bit steep because the documentation is pretty flimsy. But it's better than nothing.
I was avoiding the UI Builder at first, but have since figured out the things I was doing wrong, and I'm finding it pretty useful now.
I would expect a working version of the mod to be ready within a week.
It won't have all the goodies I would like, because I still have to find out how to write the scripts to do what I really want it to do.
But as far as the release version.
It will have probably 3 buttons that will be set up for three of the pre-defined profiles, as well two mute buttons. It will also come with instructions on how to turn those three buttons into 'custom' configurations.

After that is released, I will concentrate on finding a script that will read the current profile information and save it to a .txt file. So the values will not have to be manually set. It should be pretty easy, I just need to find a good source. I'm going to hit the book store soon and pick up a couple of books. I'm not finding what I need online. Of course that mod will be more involed than the one I'll be posting soon.
I've also come across a few ideas in my journeys, so expect some future mods.

I would still really like to know why the commands have to be done 'twice' for them to work.
For example the 'start button' doesn't have any OnPress event.
I'm assuming they use the OnEnable, or OnActivate event or something, but I just can't seem to piece that puzzle together.
