    /* White tint as an overlay, so it sits on top of bars/stripes/dots without
    replacing them */

Notes

• Behavior may vary by Daylight Calendar Card / Home Assistant / Card Mod version. Any change by any of these may break functionality.
• CSS selectors may break if the card internals change in future releases.
• If something stops working after an update, re-check selectors using Card Mod debug tools. If that doesn't fix it, open an issue.
