This is going to be a much appreciated improvement

Thanks for pointing that out.

The mocks show "Configuration/Style Name" a bit further down the page;
consistently using "layer group style" would be good.

Questions:
- Should the first style be the "default" style for the layer group?
- WMS capabilities also name / title / abstract / legend graphic URL.
Ideas? Perhaps two tabs here, one for the layers and the panel from the
style editor

Right - that is a good workflow.

Ideas?
- Have a select button next to "Add Style" at the bottom to select "New" or
choose from the existing layer group styles.
- Or make a duplicate button next to each style (with some space between
that and remove). Clear what is to be copied, but then have to scroll to
find it.

Cheers,
