Apply outline (stroke) to text

So I have a text editor with white background and another application with a dark background. As I keep switching between the two, the timer occasionally becomes invisible even if I use the 'light theme'.

Now you see it ...
screenclip
... now you hardly do (actual background is even darker ... i just use a lighter one to make my point)
screenclip

A possible solution would be to use dark/light stroke depending on the theme as in:

This is the solution used in labels for online maps etc. to make text more visible. I would love to contribute myself, but I'm not well versed in C# enough to do it. Would be great if you could implement this.

Thank you for request. I'll try to implement this in free time.
