Hi,

I wanted to use InputText but it does not have the outlineColor and outlineWidth property like TextBlock or InputTextArea which I need to make the text more readable with my colors.

So I used InputTextArea but the onFocusSelectAll does not work when I click on the area whereas it works on InputText. Is it possible to add outlineColor and outlineWidth to InputText too since it works on InputTextArea?

These texts are made in AdvancedDynamicTextures on Planes.

Thanks.

I want to say - of course! I have no idea why it isn’t there already! But I want to be sure before. I will submit a PR soon if it is possible.
