How do I add an outline to text layer

[Alkondr223322]

Hi, I'm looking for a way to add an outline to the text in the Movie to make it more visible

` const textLayer = new etro.layer.Text({

  startTime: startTime, 
  
  duration: durationStep, 
  
  text: sentence, 
  
  // x: 0, // default: 0 
  
  // y: 0, // default: 0 
  
  // width: 400, // default: null (full width) 
  
  // height: 400, // default: null (full height) 
  
  opacity: 1, // default: 1 
  
  //color: etro.parseColor('pink'), // default: new etro.Color(0, 0, 0, 1) randomColor({format: "rgba", alpha: 1}); 
  
  color: randomColor({format: "rgba", alpha: 1}), 
  
  font: '50px sans-serif', // default: '10px sans-serif' 
  
  textX: video[1]/2, // default: 0 
  
  textY: video[2] * 0.75, // default: 0 
  
  textAlign: 'center', // default: 'left' 
  
  textBaseline: 'alphabetic', // default: 'alphabetic' 
  
  textDirection: 'ltr', // default: 'ltr' 
  
  border: { // default: null (no border) 
    color: etro.parseColor('black'), 
    thickness: 10,
     
  }, 
  
  //background: etro.parseColor('red'), 
  
});`

I tried doing it by adding the border, but I don't see any changes. Am I setting the border wrong?

Hi, the text layer currently doesn't support adding a border. The color option specifies the fill color for the text. If you want to create an issue for this contributors will be able to easily see it. I think it's a good idea to add a border.

Hello, thank you for the quick answer. Issue created, I'll just use a second text layer as a "shadow" for now
