At the moment the constant declaration LAYER_MODE_NORMAL is set to 28 but if that ever changed (perhaps another mode was inserted into the list before this one) you could spend a long time looking for the problem. Using LAYER_MODE_NORMAL all you have to worry about is the name changing (as it did recently from NORMAL_LAYER_MODE if I remember correctly) and that would be easy to sort.

Apart from that, reading LAYER_MODE_NORMAL conveys information - 28 doesn't tell you anything just by looking at it.

That makes sense. Thank you! I'll keep that in mind going forward
