Take Layer Style out from Opacity and add hover preview
Layer style dropdown is hidden under Opacity. This is not intuitive. Request moving it to the top level of the Properties UI.
Hovering over Layer Style name does not give a preview unlike in Photoshop.

Mark, it’s not a 'layer style', it’s a 'blending mode':
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/transparency-blending-modes.html — and blending modes are a part of transparency/opacity in Illustrator (since they deal with it). In Photoshop Layers are merged with Transparency, for various reasons, but it’s most probably won’t happen in Illustrator.As for the live preview — it is planned, but not yet scheduled.
