using a object (map,layer,database,island) and verb (edit, copy, import,
etc...).
Do you have some kind of style guide (see eclipse ui design section
<https://wiki.eclipse.org/User_Interface_Guidelines#Style_.26_Design>)  for
consistency? I noticed inconsistence use of 3D between map, layer, pg,
etc... I also found the

You asked for opinion and proposals. One thought is make a common
vocabulary of objects (metaphors) and actions (overlays) and then either
consider how to apply them consistently, or consider how to adapt for each
platforms user interface guidelines (if you wanted the application to look
correct on linux, windows, macos). Platforms in particular often dictate
the visual representation of actions such as add, create, remove, delete.
