Yeah, I’ll agree with that. The “Actor” portion does confuse the purpose of the “UIActor” and that is to be a fixed thing on the screen for UI purposes.

ScreenElement is less ambiguous and does make more sense, and it would fit into a possibly UI Elements design metaphor. We could also add DomElement wrappers in that as well…
