Show subtitle BORDER instead of shadow

When watching movie with MediaPlayer the subtitle have shadow that is not enough to make the words clear.
In bright backgrounds the subtitle becomes unreadable.

In Skin.xml I can change the Color of shadow and the position of it.
But the prefered settings could be Border and BorderWidth.

Is it possible to have Border instead of Shadow or is there any plugin which can do the job?

No is not possible to have Border.
 
OepnPLi has a dedicated Menu for this feature and some other subtitle settings like BH has. But the BH's subtitle settings doesn't have Border in the settings

We do not use the same coding as PLI
It has advantages and disadvantages

So you get something and you lose something

Matter of Choice

Why you not use PLI then ?
 
BH is faster, more beautiful and at all better than other images like PLI, ViX ...
My thread is a feature request that can make the BH even better than what it is.

I understand.
There is nothing wrong with your question,
But to make a good image
means to make good compromises.

Sometimes you can not do something because it affects something else
you do not want to change.

The situation is similar with skins that I make.
A good balance between information, graphics and performance
is the most important.
It is the same with images

If we will introduce the boarder of fonts depends on the coder
and his opinions related to the same.
But do not forget
one change in one part of the image
may mean a much wider change and the effect on the image.
 
After all is it possible to have border just for subtitles?
It can be disabled by default to don't effect other parts of the skin.

Lots of people are not good enough in English and they have to watch the movies with subtitle; in some scenes that the picture is so bright (eg. snow) the subtitle becomes indistinguishable.

Sorry again.
 
Well, that I already answered.
That's why I wrote all above.

Some users think that we can add just one little thing
not thinking that it might affect the performance of the whole coding system
in this case subtitles , and maybe more .
