 * The default content down arrow in 2017 is a thin little thing that I fear many
   of my students will miss. How can I beef that up a little, as in add some weight,
   color, background, etc.?

 * If you’re not using a Child Theme, and if the theme doesn’t have a section for
   CSS modifications then do the following:
    1. Install this Custom CSS Manager plugin [http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin](http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin)
    2. use its “CSS Code” [section of the dashboard](https://s.w.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin/screenshot-1.jpg?r=1288706)
       to hold your CSS modifications:
    3.  (put this code in)
    4.     ```
           .site-header .navigation-top .menu-scroll-down {
               background: black;
               color: white;
           }
           ```
       
    5. Save
 * _Alternatively use your Child Theme style.css file to hold your CSS modifications_

 * Is there a way to make it even more ‘visible’? For instance: what code can I 
   add to make the arrow bold? And maybe to get some hover effect?

 * Yes, I took Andrew’s code as a start and spent a good chunk of my Sunday googling
   after a bunch of CSS tutorials… Changed the black square background to a maroon
   circle, and made the arrow bigger and brighter… I copied all the relevant code
   in the styles.css file and pasted to a text editor where it tooks a lot of googling,
   trial and error to figure out… Good lluck!

 * [@gogme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gogme/), Yes as dubsibello has mentioned
   a lot can be customised, but it does come down to personal taste and so I recommend
   opening a new thread to discuss this: [https://wordpress.org/support/theme/twentyseventeen/#new-post](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/twentyseventeen/#new-post)

 * [@dusibello](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dusibello/), Just in case you
   meant to edit the theme’s style.css file, I have to recommend not to. The way
   to change CSS is either in the ‘Custom CSS’ theme option, through a Child Theme
   or using a Custom CSS plugin.

 * Yes sir, I was copying the code from the parent theme, did my editing in Notepad
   +, and copied the code to the child’s styles.css
 * And thanks again for the awesome tip!

 * How would one get rid of this arrow and the space it occupies completely?
