LayoutImporter.ReadState now reads Properties 0x1B (ColorBaseProperty, ARGB bytes) and stores the normalized Vector4 in ElementInfo.FontColor (nullable). ElementReader.Merge propagates it with the same non-null-derived-wins rule as FontDid and HJustify. DatWidgetFactory.BuildText seeds UiText.DefaultColor from FontColor when present.
Diagnosis for LayoutDesc 0x2100002E: ALL 12 header and footer text elements carry NO dat color. Every color is runtime set by CharacterStatController. Comments added at each callsite. No hardcoded colors deleted.
Tests added: 3 ElementReader FontColor Merge + 3 DatWidgetFactory DefaultColor. 702 passed, 0 failed. Screenshots: character window, vitals, toolbar all unchanged.

LayoutImporter.ReadState now reads Properties[0x14] (HorizontalJustification,
EnumBaseProperty: 0=Left, 1=Center, 3/5=Right) and Properties[0x15]
(VerticalJustification: 2=Top, 4=Bottom; else Center) into two new ElementInfo
fields HJustify/VJustify. Merge propagates them with the same non-default-wins
rule used for FontDid.
DatWidgetFactory.BuildText applies the resolved justify at build time:
HJustify=Center sets Centered=true, HJustify=Right sets RightAligned=true,
VJustify=Top/Bottom sets VerticalJustify. Controllers that FindElement and set
those properties afterward continue to override - backward-compat preserved.
UiText gains VerticalJustify (Top/Center/Bottom, default Center). The Centered
and RightAligned single-line paths call UiText.VOffset() for the Y coordinate,
so VJustify.Top renders text at y=Padding rather than the fixed (H-lh)/2 center.
CharacterStatController: footer title (0x1000024E, H=55 dat box) previously
used Height=18 + Anchors=None to prevent center-vertical overlap with line-1/2.
Diagnostic confirmed dat says HJustify=Center, VJustify=Center. The hack is
replaced with one minimal explicit override: VerticalJustify=Top on the
already-Centered element. Text now renders at top of the 55px box natively.
Centered=false and RightAligned=false hand-sets removed where dat supplies them.
Dat justify values (studio diagnostic, 2026-06-26):
0x1000024E footer title: HJustify=Center, VJustify=Center
0x10000235/0x10000243/0x10000245 value fields: HJustify=Right
header name/heritage/pk/level: HJustify=Center

The vitals cur/max numbers now render through the generic UiText widget — retail
gmVitalsUI uses UIElement_Text for them, not a meter-internal label. VitalsController
attaches a centered, non-interactive UiText child to each meter and stops the meter
drawing its own label (UiMeter.Label -> null). New UiText.Centered draws the first line
centered H+V with the SAME formula UiMeter's overlay used, so the numbers are
pixel-identical — user-confirmed in the live client.
This completes the D.2b widget-generalization pass: every chat + vitals widget is now
built generically and registered to its retail Type (Button/Field*/Menu/Meter/Scrollbar/
Text), with thin find-by-id controllers. (*Field is controller-placed; Type 3 stays
UiDatElement for chrome.)
Divergence register: AP-37 vitals-numbers-via-UiMeter.Label clause retired. Full suite:
404 passed, 2 skipped, 0 failed.

The generalized channel menu wouldn't open: the factory recursed the Type-6
menu element's dat children, building its invisible Type-12 label child as a
UiText. Hit-testing is children-first and UiText consumes MouseDown (selection),
so the label child swallowed the menu button click and the dropdown never opened.
The transcript similarly gained an invisible Ghosted-button child (a 16x16
selection dead-zone). The old hand-made build never had these — it skipped Type 12
and hand-placed the widgets with no children.
Fix: behavioral widgets (Meter/Menu/Button/Scrollbar/Text/Field) draw their full
appearance and reproduce their dat sub-elements procedurally, so they are LEAF —
the importer must not build their dat children as separate (click-stealing)
widgets. Add UiElement.ConsumesDatChildren (default false; the 6 behavioral
widgets override true) and gate LayoutImporter recursion on it (replacing the
UiMeter-only special case). Only generic containers (UiDatElement, panels) recurse.
Visually confirmed in the live client (channel menu opens; General/Trade selected
and sent). Vitals unchanged (UiMeter was already leaf). Full suite: 404 passed.

Rename UiChatView -> UiText (the retail UIElement_Text class,
RegisterElementClass(0xc) @ acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:115655).
Factory changes (DatWidgetFactory.cs):
- Remove the Type-12 skip (was: no-media -> null, with-media -> UiDatElement).
- Add Type 12 -> BuildText() -> UiText in the switch.
- BuildText extracts the element's Direct/Normal sprite as BackgroundSprite
so any dat-media the element carried keeps rendering under the text.
UiText changes (renamed from UiChatView.cs):
- BackgroundColor default: (0,0,0,0.35) -> (0,0,0,0) (transparent).
An unbound UiText draws nothing; the controller opts in to the translucent bg.
- New BackgroundSprite + SpriteResolve: optional dat state-sprite background
drawn UNDER DrawFill+text (faithful UIElement_Text media support).
ChatWindowController.cs (Task 5 Step 8):
- Transcript property: UiChatView -> UiText.
- Bind() now uses layout.FindElement(TranscriptId) as UiText (factory-built)
instead of manually constructing + AddChild-ing a new UiChatView.
- Sets BackgroundColor = (0,0,0,0.35) on the found widget (retail translucent bg).
- Removes the tInfo null-check from the early guard (transcript is factory-built;
iInfo lookup kept for the input widget which is still manually constructed).
- BuildLines: UiChatView.Line -> UiText.Line throughout.
Vitals frozen: the Type-12 vitals number elements are meter children and are
never recursed by BuildWidget (the `if (w is not UiMeter)` gate), so they are
not built as widgets and keep rendering via UiMeter.Label. Vitals fixture
vitals_2100006C.json unchanged; LayoutConformanceTests + VitalsBindingTests green.
Tests:
- UiChatViewTests.cs -> UiTextTests.cs (class: UiTextTests, all UiChatView.* -> UiText.*)
- UiChatViewDatFontTests.cs -> UiTextDatFontTests.cs (same)
- DatWidgetFactoryTests: delete Type12_StylePrototype_ReturnsNull +
DatWidgetFactory_Type12WithMedia_Renders; add Type12_Text_MakesUiText +
DatWidgetFactory_Type12_AlwaysMakesUiText.
- LayoutImporterTests: BuildFromInfos_Type12Child_IsSkipped_Type3Present updated
to assert IsType<UiText> (element is now in tree, transparent, not skipped).
Divergence register: AP-37 amended -- removed the "standalone Type-0 text
elements skipped / dat-text widget is Plan 2" clause (now shipped as UiText);
kept the meter-collapse clause and the vitals-numbers-via-UiMeter.Label clause.
AP-38/AP-39/AD-28 file references updated UiChatView.cs -> UiText.cs.
