+## Shared "engraved bronze plaque" look for every box in the game — aged gold on
+## dark leather, a chiselled heavier bottom edge and a warm drop shadow, so the HUD
+## and the menus read as the same arena furniture instead of a stack of generic
+## rounded panels. Pair with UiFonts (Cinzel) for the full Colosseum feel.
