Would it be possible to add the ability to add a stroke on a stroke?

Example:
- Add White Stroke 5Px.
- Select that stroke with option to add Stroke.

The next stroke will be added on the top of the last or selected stroke.

Do you need to keep all strokes and the shape itself editable? If so, you can stack several Stroke styles and adjust their width and position settings. For instance, to add another 5 px stroke around your initial 5x stroke, you can try the following:

1. Add a white stroke with a width of 5 px to your shape
2. Click Add Style and choose Stroke again
3. Set the width of the new stroke to 15 px, set its position to Center, and choose a different color

You'll notice that your shape now only shows the 2nd stroke you've just added. To make sure the 1st stroke is visible:

4. In the Tool Options pane, the stroke you added last below the 1st one

Hope that helps!

thank you for replying. yes, i would love to layer strokes but i only do this because you don't have a offset tool to adjust a stoke easier.
