I made an add-on that can automatically switch the world map based on the time, and I’d like to get everyone’s opinions on a few issues.
My add-on can automatically switch the world map to different color versions based on four time periods: day, dusk, night, and dawn.

For the Mundus map, I added a ring of twinkling starlight animation. At night, maps outside the Atmora region will also show a torchlight illumination animation effect.
It supports both automatic mode and manual mode.
Now I’d like to ask for feedback:
For a 24-hour system, what would be a reasonable time setting for switching between different ESO map versions?
My current settings are:
local DAY_START = 8
local DUSK_START = 16
local NIGHT_START = 21
local DAWN_START = 3
I’m not sure if this is reasonable.
Further clarification：
Many people have asked me why I haven't published on ESOUI. The truth is, some of the add-ons I've made are meant to serve Reshade. Nexusmods is more suitable for publishing this kind of content. I originally created an integration between a .fx file and an add-on (single-pixel recognition technology). It allows Reshade to recognize which zone I'm currently in within the game, and then apply different color grading based on the zone to counteract the weird ambient lighting. However, due to the enormous workload, I've temporarily stopped development and only made a prototype. To me, this add-on is just an 'extension of a graphics preset,' so I don't want to publish it on ESOUI.
Where I publish my add-ons is my freedom. Please don't morally blackmail me, and don't judge me using the 'ESOUI constitution.' Thank you.
