I can't stand the new CSS Designer panel. Can I customize it to work like the old CSS panel?

Creative Cloud DW has many changes to the CSS panel  something I used to use all the time. It doesn't open the CSS dialog when I double click the selector, I don't like how it displayes the properties, it wastes important 'real estate' with 'Sources' and '@Media' and I don't use them... pls pls don't make me hate the decision to have spent money to get this new version of Dreamweaver which has only made things worse... at least let users customize this panel to where it's usable again!

    The attributes don't just autocomplete anymore like they do in ChromeDevTools, Firebug or even DW CS6. I feel like this panel should operate as responsively or intuitively as they do. This whole panel seems to be something that would be better off in Adobe Edge Reflow and not Dreamweaver. or at least the ability to switch to something more like the old. but even that wasn't as good as what is possible now. I though they'd get it right by CC

    I am in the same boat. Its even worse using it on a laptop.

    I went back to CS6 like many others. Unfortunately Adobe don't seem to care much anymore about what customers want.

      @annestah ,solaced

      Can you guys please log a request at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform.

      We already have a few requests for the same and your requests would add more weight to the requests and help in prioritising this request in our enhancement request queue.

      In the mean time , I would suggest you to minimise the Sources and @media panes by clicking on them .

      I also hope you know that the  CSS Designer panel can work in a two column as well as  a single column layout as in the below screenshot
