Custom Dot with border color

Hi

I created some custom points with different colors from the classic dot - red, dot - white etc... and for example, in the file custom_point_types.txt I added this working line for the cyan color:

"DOT_CYAN","DOT_CUSTOM_3_0_255_255",0,255,"ArialNarrow~0~179208~0.000~0~0~16777215~-1",0,0,""

My question is: is it possible to modify the line in custom_point_types.txt so as to also have the border of the point colored black? I'll give you a random example of what I tried and that obviously doesn't work:

"DOT_CYAN","DOT_CUSTOM_3_0_255_255_DOT_EMPTY_CUSTOM_4_0_0_0",0,255,"ArialNarrow~0~179208~0.000~0~0~16777215~-1",0,0,""

Basically in the example above I tried to create a 3 pixel cyan dot and an overlapping 4 pixel empty dot for have the black border...

Thanks for reply
