Display layer render type next to names in different color
For quickly telling what type of layer it is, SAI displays the name of the layer, the mode and its opacity . If there isn't something like this already, maybe this could become a thing?
<Opacity %> - <Layer Name> - <Layer Mode>
With the colors being orange, white and light blue respectively. Or something customizable for the user.
I like this idea. Would also help quickly tell if someone accidentally sets their layer to a different blend mode or changes the opacity, which happens sometimes if someone misclicks or misscrolls their mouse wheel.
Unsure what the best way of presenting this is, having it all in a single line would probably not fit when someone uses a very narrow layer list or has a large font size set, so it may need to go on a line underneath the name. Probably needs to be toggleable either way, since folks on low resolutions probably want to have the list entries take up as little room as possible so that they can still rearrange stuff without too much scrolling.
We could also color code the layer icon itself to convey some information... not sure what however.
For example:
