P: Allow renaming of Layers in Layer Styles dialog

When I double click the Layer name in order to rename it, I often miss the name which of course invokes the Layer Styles Dialog.

This would be acceptable if I could actually rename the Layer in this dialog box. Closing and trying again can get tedious.

I really like this idea. And I like that you've mocked it up with the layer name not being part of the Blending Options tab, so it would always be at the top of the window, not matter which Layer Style is selected. I'd really, really like to see this in the next version of Photoshop.

I think it could possibly go even further... Why bother with a separate Layer Properties and Blending Options (Layer Styles) window? If the layer name is added to the Blending Options window, it's only a colour pop-up menu away from having everything listed in the Layer Properties window.

A combined Layer Properties and Blending Options window would be awesome.

(Less windows probably means Adobe can remove some code and have less UI to manage. Win-win!)

Not a bad idea - I've heard this requested elsewhere.

I suggested this myself at the main site a few weeks ago. Happy to support it here. And the graphic really sells it!
