  • MicSwitch

    Discontinued MicSwitch is a tool which allows you to mute/unmute your microphone using a predefined hotkey

  • Finally, the last program I used is called MicSwitch. This program is actually something I had used before buying the 5-inch display, I just used a hotkey instead. This lets me mute or unmute my microphone using one of the dock's buttons. I used MicSwitch's overlay function to have an updating indicator on the dock. I just placed it over the button.

  • AutoHotkey

    AutoHotkey - macro-creation and automation-oriented scripting utility for Windows.

  • After setting up and arranging the Thrivery skin pack, I downloaded a dock pack. While Thrivery has a dock, it didn't fit what I was looking for. The dock I downloaded is called DryDock. To set up the functions, I would read the documentation. For some of the functions on mine like launching TaskManager and opening the Xbox GameBar, I had to use AutoHotKey. Its documentation is here. I'm assuming quite a few people reading this far have already used AHK, but if not, it's fairly simple to get the hang of.
