Post From: Time Range Highlight for Day Session

One alternative would be to make Alert variables for Day start and Evening start, and then that mechanism could be used.

This does exist - you would need to use the "Spreadsheet System/Alert" study, where the "Chart Start Time" and "Chart End Time" are given in cells J75 and J76 (respectively). Note that these are the main session times, so the other hours are the Evening Session. You would then enter the following formula in K3:
=OR(FRACTIME(A3) < $J$75, FRACTIME(A3) > $J$76)

Then set the Draw Style for the K column (Buy Entry) as "Background Transparent" and set the "Width" as something relatively large, like 20 or so.

Refer to the following:
Spreadsheet Systems, Alerts and Automated Trading

Chart Studies: Background Transparent (ACSIL: DRAWSTYLE_BACKGROUND_TRANSPARENT)

Chart Studies: Subgraphs Tab >> Line Width
