Method

voiddrawOutlinedString(String s, int x, int y, Color fill, Color outline, Graphics g)
Draws basic nice looking outlined string 
g.setColor(outline);
g.drawString(s, x + 1, y - 1);
g.drawString(s, x - 1, y + 1);
g.drawString(s, x + 1, y - 1);
g.drawString(s, x + 1, y + 1);
g.setColor(fill);
g.drawString(s, x, y);
intdrawOutlinedStringSimple(Graphics2D g, String str, int x, int y)
draw Outlined String Simple 
Rectangle2D textArea = g.getFont().getStringBounds(str, g.getFontRenderContext());
Color textColor = g.getColor();
g.setColor(g.getBackground());
g.drawString(str, x + 1, y + 1);
g.drawString(str, x + 1, y - 1);
g.drawString(str, x - 1, y + 1);
g.drawString(str, x - 1, y - 1);
g.drawString(str, x + 1, y);
...
voiddrawOutlineText(Graphics graphics, String text, Color textColor, int x, int y, Color outlineColor, int outlineWidth)
Draw an outlined text. 
graphics.setColor(outlineColor);
for (int dy = -outlineWidth; dy <= outlineWidth; dy++) {
    for (int dx = -outlineWidth; dx <= outlineWidth; dx++) {
        if (dx != 0 && dy != 0) {
            graphics.drawString(text, x + dx, y + dy);
graphics.setColor(textColor);
graphics.drawString(text, x, y);
voiddrawStringWithOutline(final Graphics g, final String str, int x, int y, Color fillColor, Color outlineColor)
draw String With Outline 
g.setColor(outlineColor);
for (int i = 1; i <= 1; i++) {
    g.drawString(str, x + i, y);
    g.drawString(str, x - i, y);

voiddrawStringOutline(Graphics g, String s, int x, int y, Color c, Color cOutLine)
draw String Outline 
if (c == null)
