So I tried searching and couldn’t find an answer to what I’m trying to do, closest was a workaround of sorts, but it resets every time you enter a new zone or go through a loading screen.
I would love a way to setup a macro or hotkey to change my graphics down to preset 1 at the push of a button.
Closest way I’ve found is using the raid/battleground setting and setting a key for that, but like I said it reverts whenever you change zones or hit a loading screen.
I’d even be willing to use an addon, if needed, as long as it is lightweight.
You can totally do this with a Macro. But you have to know the CVAR names and settings for your “presets”. You can find these out by inspecting your \WTF\Config.wtf file. Just notice that you have to /reload for the file to assume the most recent settings. To see which variables have changed, it is convenient to save a copy of Config.wtf and then use a diff tool (like e.g. KDiff3) to spot the changes between the old copy and the new file immediately.
Then your Macros could look like this:
So nothing quick and dirty for using changing the slider in the default UI from 7 to 1? Not using any custom settings, just the defaults.
Trying to find an easy way to keep my main window at normal settings and when dragging my 2nd account around minimize the load for things like load screens.
OK, if that is all you want, you can do it like this:
For setting 1:
/run VideoOptionsFrame:Show() Graphics_Quality:SetValue(1) VideoOptionsFrameApply:Click() VideoOptionsFrame:Hide()
For setting 10:
/run VideoOptionsFrame:Show() Graphics_Quality:SetValue(10) VideoOptionsFrameApply:Click() VideoOptionsFrame:Hide()
Put whatever default setting you want into the brackets of Graphics_Quality:SetValue().

That’s perfect, thank you so much.
Reading the other stuff was making me go cross-eyed a bit since it’s about my bed time
