Allow changing text fill and outline color in a mogrt?

I'm making a mogrt in AE involving user-supplied text. "user" mean the person using the mogrt in premiere, who is also myself.

In essential graphics panel in AE, before exporting the mogrt, I can choose to allow font, style, size, and faux style to be changed by the user.

 

How can I also permit changing fill color, outline color, outline width, etc?

 

This mogrt takes a line of text and performs an animation on it. To make it more general purpose, I want the user to be able to change as many text properties as possible.

Try turning on Stroke in. the Character panel and adding Text animators for Stroke Width and Stroke Color. Add another text animator for Fill color.
