It's not possible with just a script. Maybe if you use a .dll, but I'm not 100% certain on that.

Ok.Thanks!Now i have understood....Is not very simple and it's impossible with plus script because to do this it's needed interceptiong and hooking some api like loadresource so you can't do it because the scripts are loaded after the apis...answer the full details about how add icons is not possible and if you aren't an expert programmer i don't advice to try to do it...Try to study api hooking and relative stuff.....Sorry for my english...Greeting

I know that you can remove the icons with A-Patch, but no opition to add one... Also you can try Mess Patch
I don't know in what I've seen, but there is an opition to add a Sign Out button on the "Dashboard Line" (where are the dashboard icons)
;)

You can do this with an DLL, written in C++ or Delphi for example.

As TheGuruSupremacy said, you'll need to intercept some API's like LoadResource, SizeofResource, and FindResourceW. There is another way, using msncore.dll, but that's even more advanced than the API hooking.

Or, if you want the simple (and dirty) way: SetParent
YouTube closed-captions ripper (also allows you to download videos!)
