Hidden sidebar using a custom icon or text

gabs

I would like to put the news section of the site in the Hidden sidebar. How can I customise the icon (there is no news icon in the choice offered) or replace it with text

Hey again :-)

As for icon maybe check this one https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/icon/newspaper-o ?

There is no option to enter text currently, but you could try such custom CSS trick:

#side-menu-switch::before {
    font-family: Open Sans, sans-serif;
    content: "News";
}

With kind regards.
