applescriptmacosmenu barscript
You know that "scripts" menu you can show in the right side of the menu bar? It's very useful. I'm talking about this menu:
I've set some custom icons for the files in the scripts folder using the Get Info window, but these icons aren't showing up in the menu. Is this something that will automatically show up next time I reboot, is there some hidden setting I need to change, or is this just not (yet) possible?
If a menu icon is allowed to move, command + mouse select will work.
You might have to patch the program (or System Ui Server). Have you asked the developer if they can implement this as a feature?
Only the Apple icons are movable on my 10.6.7 systems so it certainly isn't easy for a developer to get this working and may be impossible in practice.
The only workaround would be to have a script that delays the radium start as the leftmost item is the last to load. If you had a launch script that slept for 3 minutes and then killed, relaunched that app - it would be leftmost until another started... If it was really important, you could kill and relaunch it periodically every X minutes to ensure that over time it's the leftmost icon without you taking manual action.
I have been using this for a while and it seems to be configurable to do what you need.

I don't think it's possible, but FastScripts does seem to use custom icons in the menu:
