 ## Styling
 
 `<sp-overlay>` element will use the `<dialog>` element or `popover` attribute to project your content onto the top-layer of the browser, without being moved in the DOM tree. That means that you can style your overlay content with whatever techniques you are already leveraging to style the content that doesn't get overlaid. This means standard CSS selectors, CSS Custom Properties, and CSS Parts applied in your parent context will always apply to your overlaid content.

 -   `'hint'` Overlays are much like tooltips so they are not just ephemeral, but they are delivered primarily as a visual helper and exist outside of the tab order. In this way, be sure _not_ to place interactive content within this type of Overlay.
 -   `'auto'` Overlays provide a place for content that is ephemeral _and_ interactive. These Overlays can accept focus but will close when losing that focus, or when interacting with other parts of the page.
 -   `'manual'` Overlays act much like `"auto"` Overlays, but do not close when losing focus or interacting with other parts of the page. When a `"manual"` Overlay is at the top of the "overlay stack", it will still respond to the Escape key and close.
