+## #253 — Attribute/skill icons: not centered in their cells, and fully opaque
+
+**Status:** OPEN
+**Severity:** LOW (visual fidelity; user-observed)
+**Filed:** 2026-07-28
+**Component:** retail UI / character sheet (D.2b)
+
+**Description:** During the Campaign V mid-campaign visual session (on the
+Vulkan backend), the user observed that the attribute and skill icons in the
+character sheet are the right size but sit misaligned in their cells — they
+should be centered — and are fully opaque, where retail renders them with
+translucency comparable to the vitae window.
+
+**Suspected pre-existing, not a Vulkan regression:** the V7 differential holds
+the retained UI identical between backends (static 2-D content compares inside
+3.94e-04 at tolerance 2), so whatever the character sheet draws on Vulkan, GL
+draws the same. The panel itself was not opened in any automated capture, so
+this needs one GL-side look to confirm — after which it is a D.2b retail-UI
+fidelity item, not campaign scope. Verify against retail (LayoutDesc
+`0x2100002E` import path, `CharacterSheet`/`CharacterSheetProvider` cell
+placement and the icon draw's alpha) rather than guessing the intended offsets.
+
+**Acceptance:** icons centered per the authored layout; translucency matching
+retail's; confirmed identical on both backends (or the GL/VK difference, if one
+exists after all, attributed).
