Outline2 possibly?

I think a new Outline2 in the costume editor would be nice,
For example, you have the real outline, but then you have Outline2, to outline the outline.
I've been seeing these cool text font generators or just cool text that really pops out whenever you add an extra outline
Im aware that you can add a second outline using blocks, But i think it would look cool in the costume editor

Outline2 possibly?

easy workaround:
step 1: create shape
step 2: give shape outline
step 3: copy shape
step 4: paste shape and put it right ontop the original shape
step 5: change outline color and change outline size larger on the pasted shape
step 6: put the pasted shape to back

support, support, SUPPORT!!! I've been working on a detective game and this would be very helpful for dialogue closeups

The thing is, If you make it larger the underside doesnt get covered as much

I don't see what's useful about this feature as the workaround is easy enough.

Most users only need 1 outline on their sprite, so adding another outline to outline the outline would be confusing to users about what it does (it's even difficult to read ). And there are still some unanswered issues. For example, what happens when someone puts a color for Outline2, but nothing for the original outline? Where would this second outline slot be?

Edit due to grammar issue
