I can't make the font any larger, or the text will flow outside of the widget. If I make the widget bigger, everyone yells at me that the button is too large.

I'm all about solutions, but I honestly don't have one that I can think of atm for that particular problem.
In all actuality, outlines shouldn't be used when there is a solid background. Contrast, in that regard, general rule of thumb is light font dark background, dark font light background. You only use the outlines when the background is transparent. .... when the playing world is in the background.
