Problem
There is no easy way to add a simple border around text and wrapping the text around a container is too much code to do so little. There needs to be an easy way to just border text!
Solution
BorderedText is a simple component that inherits from the Text component that allows for bordering. In addition to bordering, the BorderedText component allows for most of the styling implemented by the HaloBorder class including background coloring / alpha / image and corner radius and drop shadows ( drop shadow not fully tested ). Lastly, for really custom styling, you can now simply apply your own border skin to the BorderedText component and viola, custom look and feel of your text field will little to no effort.
