Would be useful to set the color of subtitles.

Font and its size selection is supported. Didn't you see it in preferences? :thinking:

I guess I meant position and shadow/outline :). Color is the most important though, it would be nice if we could enter any color hex code.

The usecase for position and color, for me, would be to be able to set the subtitles to be below the video when the aspect ratio is thinner than the viewport (or display, when fullscreen). That way, if viewing an ultrawide/cinema video on a 16:9 projector, they would not interfere with the image, and they could be set to 30-50% gray instead of pure white to avoid glare (which would be difficult on the eyes in dark scenes, and introduce light bleed for the projector).

Arguably however, position should be automatic: when a video has subtitles and the viewport/fullscreen is taller than the video for the current aspect ratio, the image should be positioned at the top and subtitles should be positioned below the image as much as possible.

Apparently related, for the position / scaling aspect: #321 and #269

@nekohayo

Could you open a separate FR for subtitles below video? This issue here is config like +/- N pixels vertically from default position (on top of video), etc. While from what I understand, you want this to be counted from window bottom (not video) so when resizing window they are always on bottom either below or on video (ignoring where video is).
