I put together a quick patch to demo this idea (screenshots attached). I think this definitely does a better job showing trends directly since you don't have to mentally combine the two charts, although I think there's still some tweaking to do.
A few areas to improve for sure:
- opacity is calculated a bit strangely ... I'm sure there's a better way than what I used
- we'll need to play with period size vs resolution, I think 7 days at hour resolution is too dense?
- this will need a legend of some sort, it isn't very self explanatory
