State: open

When there were only a few UI buttons, it you always knew, which button you had clicked to open the displayed dialog. But with the increasing amount of available actions (Import/export, Settings, Timeslider, Embed/Share, Users) it's hard to keep track of the buttons you clicked.

I realized this, when I wanted to remove a dialog I had opened: After surfing another website in a different tab, I cam back and wanted to remove this dialog, but I didn't know **intuitively** which button to click to remove it. (Of course, after thinking it through for a few minutes, I managed to figure it out by reading the text... :-) ).

The problem is, that there is no sign whatsoever, which indactes, to which button the dialog refers.
My immediate idea was to mark the clicked button (e. g. with black background color).

Additionally, an \[x\] button for closing the dialog would be worth discussing about...
