I was unable to contact the panels creator so I updated the panel to work with multiple layers.
There is one odd behavior. When you select more than one layer the blend mode grays out and shows a normal blend mode regardless of the selected layers modes. Because of that you will not see the mode change in the layers panel when you use this with more than one selected layer. The image will show the mode change.
Another point to note. Because the modes are set by a script, if no layers are selected the top most layer is used. Similar to the way activeDocument behaves.
It's a configurator panel. If you configurator installed just unzip and double click to install. If not you can find it at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/configurator/
