SUPERCHARGE YOUR GOOGLE CALENDAR WITH VISUAL TAGS & COUNTDOWNS

This add-on extends the concept of 'Tags for Google Calendar', allowing you to format, color-code, and track deadlines directly from the event title using simple text prefixes and suffixes. No menus needed—just type!

🏷️ SMART TAGS (PREFIXES) Add a category followed by a colon or semicolon at the start: 
• "Work: Meeting" -> Adds a [Work] tag in White. 
• "Urgent; Report" -> Adds a [Urgent] tag in Yellow.

🎨 BACKGROUND COLORS (SUFFIXES) Add these codes to the end of the title to color the event background: 
• -g (Green) 
• -r (Red) 
• -b (Blue) 
• -y (Yellow) 
• -w (White)

✨ TEXT STYLING (SUFFIXES) 
• "Event !" -> Bold Red text (Priority/High Importance) 
• "Event ?" -> Italic & Faded text (Tentative/Uncertain) 
• "Event _" -> Strikethrough text (Cancelled/Done)

⏳ SMART COUNTDOWNS (NEW v0.94+) Automatically calculates days remaining until a deadline. 
• "Project >25/12<" -> Shows days left (Neutral style). 
• "Payment >>25/12<<" -> Shows days left with Urgency Colors (Green > Yellow > Red > Black).
(Note: it reads 'dd/mm' or 'dd/mm/yy' formats)
