Move the layer manager to the left side
@vfxdude please check out this fiddle for custom UI (also the layers panel is on the left side). cheers!

The layer manager is currently hidden away in a tab, but it should in my opinion be visible all the time. Webflow also had it hidden away in a tab, but moved it to the left side. https://webflow.com/feature/new-navigator-location

@pouyamiralayi thanks.
I was fiddling with a similar idea myself. https://codepen.io/neocoder/pen/bGNMyQK (using the Webpage Preset plugin ).
It would be better and easier if there was an option for this in the Webpage Preset plugin though.

Currently, I can't dedicate time to presets, but PRs are always welcome
