Change layer name and color in the footprint editor

Layout Footprints

Hi (on kicad 7.0.11 under windows)
I’m using some user layer for a specific need. I want to use new name and color for those layers. I’ve managed to change them in pcbnew. But not in the footprint editor. Is it possible ?

Actually using a new color scheme I’ve been able to change the color of my layers in the footprint editor.
But still no idea for the layers name

You want to click Board Setup Icon (in PCB editor) and change what you want…

I found that, but it only change the name in the pcb editor, and not in the footprint editor.

It’s just logical. Footprints don’t depend on any specific layout. You may have “in-house” layer names, but it would be unwise in general to allow renaming footprint layers.
