[Suggestion] Adding an option to display a faint ring on the edge of an aura.

Is it possible to add an option to automatically display a colorable outer edge/ring for aura effect? I would like to see this become an option as my Paladin states that while it is convenient that the active auras add his protection bonus to the others automatically, he noticed that unless he calls it out, people forget about it and end their turns way more often outside his aura range.

After he told me that I started noticing it to that even if there is an icon added to the token of a player if they got the aura effecting them its often overlooked.

I know there is an option to add effects that flash and glow, but we choose not to use these as too many effects make some of the players nauseous. So having a range indicator appear whenever the aura is active would be nice. Especially since I have it toggled to prevent lag to only activate auras during combat.

Describe the solution you'd like Option to display a range indicator like a ring on the outer edge of the aura, that clearly displays during combat where the aura ends. Preferably defaulting to the color associated with the players set color or as a color selection in the option of each aura.

Describe alternatives you've considered I considered a version of this where the entire area is opacity colored, but that is too distracting. A slightly opaque outer edge coloration seems the best solution to me.

Additional context mostly good for Paladins in DnD or some magic items that are emitting an aura on the map or monsters with aura effects etc.

This is 100% on my to-do list
