 * I downloaded Minnow from WordPress.**COM**, and put it on my self-hosted blog,
   because I really like it.
 * However; I find the hamburger menu is way too inconspicuous, I want to change
   its colour.
 * Problem is; I can’t find out _how_. Ideally, I would even like to put in the 
   word MENU beside it [the hamburger], but that seems even more complicated, as
   I’m somewhat CSS-challenged 🙂

 * Hi, in Minnow, they have used top borders to construct the hamburger, which makes
   it difficult to add “Menu” and have it clickable without having to work over 
   the php files. What we can do though is to replace the constructed hamburger 
   with a Genericon and then both the hamburger and word Menu will be clickable.
 * If you have not yet done so, I would suggest creating a child theme so that any
   customizations you make will not be overwritten by a future theme update. Alternately
   you can use the Edit CSS function in the Jetpack plugin, or use one of the other
   Custom CSS plugins that will keep CSS changes from being overwritten.

 * This is the CSS that will do it for you. You can edit my (slightly obnoxious)
   demo colors as desired. I included a hover rule so you could change the hover
   color if you wanted.

       .menu-toggle:after {
           border-top: medium none;
           content: '\f419';
           display: block;
           font-family: Genericons;
           font-size: 30px;
           margin-left: 30px;
       }
       .menu-toggle:before {
           border-top: medium none;
           content: "Menu";
           font-size: 30px;
           left: -35px;
           position: absolute;
           top: 15px;
       }
       .menu-toggle {
           border-top: medium none;
           float: right;
           height: 50px;
           padding-left: 0;
           padding-right: 0;
           width: 145px;
           color: #cc0000;
       }
       .menu-toggle:hover {
           color: #66dd33;
       }
       ```
