After experimenting with the text outliner I wanted to add some things like selecting the color from a drop down list, being able to make the text wider and having the capability to have a gap between the outline and the text.
Here is the code:
//
/*[Text]*/
$fn=60;//[20:1:100]
Fill=true;
Input_Text="Text";
TextColor="white";//[Lavender,Thistle,Plum,Violet,Orchid,Fuchsia,Magenta,MediumOrchid,MediumPurple,BlueViolet,DarkViolet,DarkOrchid,DarkMagenta,Purple,Indigo,DarkSlateBlue,SlateBlue,MediumSlateBlue,IndianRed,LightCoral,Salmon,DarkSalmon,LightSalmon,Red,Crimson,FireBrick,DarkRed,Aqua,Cyan,LightCyan,PaleTurquoise,Aquamarine,Turquoise,MediumTurquoise,DarkTurquoise,CadetBlue,SteelBlue,LightSteelBlue,PowderBlue,LightBlue,SkyBlue,LightSkyBlue,DeepSkyBlue,DodgerBlue,CornflowerBlue,RoyalBlue,Blue,MediumBlue,DarkBlue,Navy,MidnightBlue,Pink,LightPink,HotPink,DeepPink,MediumVioletRed,PaleVioletRed,GreenYellow,Chartreuse,LawnGreen,Lime,LimeGreen,PaleGreen,LightGreen,MediumSpringGreen,SpringGreen,MediumSeaGreen,SeaGreen,ForestGreen,Green,DarkGreen,YellowGreen,OliveDrab,Olive,DarkOliveGreen,MediumAquamarine,DarkSeaGreen,LightSeaGreen,DarkCyan,Teal,Oranges,LightSalmon,Coral,Tomato,OrangeRed,DarkOrange,Orange,Gold,Yellow,LightYellow,LemonChiffon,LightGoldenrodYellow,PapayaWhip,Moccasin,PeachPuff,PaleGoldenrod,Khaki,DarkKhaki,Cornsilk,BlanchedAlmond,Bisque,NavajoWhite,Wheat,BurlyWood,Tan,RosyBrown,SandyBrown,Goldenrod,DarkGoldenrod,Peru,Chocolate,SaddleBrown,Sienna,Brown,Maroon,White,Snow,Honeydew,MintCream,Azure,AliceBlue,GhostWhite,WhiteSmoke,Seashell,Beige,OldLace,FloralWhite,Ivory,AntiqueWhite,Linen,LavenderBlush,MistyRose,Gainsboro,LightGrey,Silver,DarkGray,Gray,DimGray,LightSlateGray,SlateGray,DarkSlateGray,Black]

For some reason I was not able to link the color list to a library file to keep from cluttering up the code. I'm sure I have done that before I just don't remember how I did it, so I will have to dig through all the files I have and find it. I know there is a way to link a list from a library file and use it with the customizer.
