I found this great script on this topic: Defining the stroke size by slider
I tried to create an action to add "borders" and a 3D type shadow, the size of the border would be configured through that of the Script, the problem is that the dialog does not open, making it impossible to configure the border size. It only works as the last step of the Action, and I do not want to end the action like it, I still need at least 3 steps to finish. I'm going to make the action and script available so maybe someone can explain this problem to me:
Action:File sharing and storage made simple
Script:

Hi Ps-Design. I tested the action here and actually saw that the dialog does not open!
I tried with that first version and it worked however the slider navigation is kinda heavy.
Maybe this will help!
...#target photoshop;
app.bringToFront();
main();
function main(){
var strokeSize = getStrokeSize();
if(strokeSize == null) return;
var d= new Window('dialog','Style');
d.grpOpacity = d.add('panel', undefined,'Stroke');
d.grpOpacity.orientation = 'row';
d.grpOpacity.alignChildren = ['fill','top'];
d.grpO
