## Where to use it

The layered look hints that there is more behind the button, which suits “more options” menus. Picture the three dots on a file in a cloud storage app, or on a photo in an online gallery: hover and “3 actions available” pops up with its little stack. A stacked tooltip in HTML and CSS.

Say what is actually in the menu. A count like “3 actions” or a hint like “Share, rename, delete” helps more than a vague “More”. The back layers are subtle on purpose; on dark backgrounds, check they still show.

Paste this into ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, v0 or Lovable to adapt the block to your stack (Tailwind, Vue, Svelte…):

````text
I want to add the “Stacked tooltip” block (Tooltips) from AIMRAN Library to my project.

## What it is
The label arrives with two faded layers behind it, like a small pile of cards fanning out.

## Chosen settings
- Main color: #0071e3
- Secondary color: #8ec5ff
- Size: 16px (from 12 to 24px)
- Speed: 1x (from 0.5 to 2x)
- Text: "3 actions available"

## What I need
1. Add it to my project with the same look and animation as the reference code: same sizes, colours, radii, shadows, timings and easing.
2. It is built with plain HTML and CSS (the reference wraps it in a React component with its CSS). If my project uses something else (Vue, Svelte, Astro, plain HTML…), translate it without losing any behaviour. If I use Tailwind, turn the styles into classes; if not, keep the CSS in its own file.
3. Expose the settings above as props (or CSS variables) with those values as defaults.
4. Make it work well on phones: nothing that depends only on hover, touch targets of at least 44 px and no overflow on 320 px screens.
5. Make it look right in light and dark mode.
6. Keep it accessible: semantic HTML, roles and aria-* where needed, visible focus and keyboard support.
7. Respect prefers-reduced-motion: with reduced motion, no big animations but the same end result.
