General
To make it easier for users to easily go from one easyApp software to another, it is desirable to streamline user interfaces whenever feasible without harming user experience. To this end, I propose to use the same set of icons and page names for similar GUI pages across the techniques.
In particular I propose to use a specific icon/page name for the page wherein the theoretical model is defined.
The icons used in the EasyApp framework, are the free "Classic Solid" themed icons from https://fontawesome.com/icons
Current Implementation
Currently, EasyReflectrometry and EasyDiffraction already uses a similar set of icons/name for all pages except for the page wherein the theoretical model is defined. In EasyDiffraction, the page is called "Model", in EasyReflectometry it is called "Sample".
In addition, the icon currently used is unsuitable for EasyImaging, as it resembles a TIFF stack i.e. the experimental data format which would associate the icon with the "Experiment" page.
Proposed Implementation
Model instead of Sample
Considering that the "Sample" page is the page wherein the theoretical model is defined in EasyReflectometry, I find this name misleading as "Sample" could as easily refer to the experimental sample data as the theoretical model of the sample. As such I propose to use "Model", like in EasyDiffraction, across the techniques for the page in which the user defines their theoretical model to fit their data to.
Puzzle piece icon instead of series of planes
Since the current icon is unsuitable for EasyImaging, after perusing the free FontAwesome icons and discussing potential replacement candidates, I can now propose to use the Puzzle-piece icon from FontAwesome for this Model page instead:

Generalized GUI tab pages after implementation
This will be the list of generalized pages with name, icon and their intended content after this ADR suggestion.
Other custom pages can still be added for different techniques if their intended content does not fall into one of these pages.
