I created a simple plugin to help you switch between graphics quality levels 1 and 21 quickly. I made this because I find myself switching my graphics quality level in Studio settings very often, which can be very tedious. This plugin makes this process much faster, by letting you do this with just one click.
I frequently change my graphics setting because my computer can’t handle running at max graphics all of the time. I normally keep it on quality level 1, but when I need to see farther, see what my game would look like on different devices, or take pictures of my work, I turn my graphics quality up to 21. Using this plugin, you don’t have to go through Studio settings to do this, but can instead just click the button in the corner.
Level 1:
Level 21:
Here is a link to the plugin:
Or, if you don’t trust random plugins and want to make sure it’s not a virus, here is the source code. The entire plugin is 210 lines long, and is all in just one script.

If you find any bugs or have any suggestions, just leave them in a reply and I’ll try to fix them!
EDIT: First update! You can now set a keybind for changing the graphics quality setting. Just go to File > Advanced > Customize Shortcuts > Search for “Graphics Quality Changer” and set your keybind there. With a keybind set, you don’t even need the plugin widget open for it to work.
