Research Window issue

I recently downloaded the addon "Research Buddy 2", and am having an issue with the research knowledge window. The motif section of the window is down into the heavy armor set. I've tried messing around a bit in the xml file, but have been unable to fix the issue. I'm unfamiliar with LUA programming and know enough xml to get myself into trouble.

I'm running 5760 x 1080 resolution. I am also running several other addons as well. I have disabled all other addons (except what's required to run Research Buddy 2) to verify that they aren't causing the issue. Here's a pic of what the window looks like.

I updated it a little bit, I moved stuff around so you don't have icons overlapping.
I also changed the icons used for the dwemer chapter set. I was using breton icons, i changed it to dwarven icons.
But i am kinda stuck now as i am relative new to modding for ESO. I do not know where to get the propper information to add more of the used sets that you need to collect. (example:local DwemerAchievementID = 1144)
And i am not sure if i will be conecting the right parts to the right icon as i don't have the required styles on my characters to test it out.
ps: how do you add an update to the work of someone else?

Mounts

It would be great if this addon also tracked mount training. What I need most is for this to be added to the "Researches In Progress" window just to show who is still training (and how long they have to go) and who has finished. That way I know which characters to logon so I can start up their training again.

Showing who has what rating in Speed, Stamina, and Carrying capacity is far less important/useful.

Any chance of getting an update soon? This addons feature of marking the items I need for research is really awesome, and I don't want to use another addon.

I posted the following to the bug section about 1 week+ ago and have not had any response to it, so I thought I would post here.

I have a total of 5 characters. On all of them when I list which ones I want to show: alt1, alt2, alt3.
What shows up in inventory, bank, etc. is: current char, alt1, alt2. There is no icon for alt3.

Update 7 crash on "Stack all items" feature

Ever since the new Imperial City patch 2.1.4 (i.e. Update 7) added a new Stack all items feature on the inventory screen, if Research Buddy 2 is enabled, clicking the Stack all items button causes a crash to desktop. Disabling Research Buddy 2 fixes the problem.

Good idea. Give me some time to look around the API and check the feasbility of this new feature.
