I am very new to renpy, about a week. so my understanding of the code is very minimal. i wanted to add an outline style to my game menu text. just like a black outline. i was wondering where i need to put it and what the code would be. thank you

For the simple stuffs: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/style.ht ... preference

As for a more complicated game menu, which becomes part of the GUI, they're manipulated in external software, like Photoshop. If you do use PS/GIMP, type the text you want to save, then look for Layer > Layer Style > Stroke...

and change the color to your preference, like black.

Does this help?

yeah it does help. i think for me it might just be easier to remove the title in the game menu and draw my own. thank you :)
