Google is your friend, and it isn't like you are going to JAIL if you BREAK into Control4.

I have written a Python script to easily make C4 drivers with customized icons by altering the stock Control4 Scenario Experience driver.  This involves unzipping a C4Z file, changing the icon image files, and making slight alterations to the XML file before rezipping it.  This script automates all of that and outputs a new C4Z driver file that can be added to your project by your dealer via Composer Pro. You just need to provide an image file to start with - ideally a PNG file that is about 1024x1024. (Smaller image files were working but some icons might look stretched.) After the new driver file is added to your sytem you can then use Composer HE to decide what screens to display these in, and Favoriting in Navigator to put these buttons on (almost) any screen that you want and tie them to any task in C4. 
You will need Python 3, but it should work in Windows, Linux and WSL. (If you are running Linux under Windows 10 then you should have Python already installed on that. If you have Windows 10 I would highly recommend installing Ubuntu so that you have a Linux system running inside of Windows 10).
Instructions on how to do all of this are in a Readme file and in comments in the Python file.  In theory the script should work on Macs as well but I don't have a Mac to test.  Download the file from Github:   https://github.com/zaphodb65/C4driverbuilder
The final result will look like this. (This is from the C4 app on an iPad)

Just wanted to say as a business owner I 100% agree with you.  If any employee of mine posted that on a public forum they would be immediately terminated (it's even in their contract).
To be totally honest, I wish I hadn't seen that post as it quite frankly just turned me off C4 big time.  In fact, this has me seriously reconsidering deploying C4 at our second property now and I think I may just pull the trigger on the Savant quote I got.  I'm also sending this forum post to the Dealer that quoted me and advising that this right here is the reason we will be going with another solution.
This really sucks.  Way to go C4 employee.

A few tweaks to the UX (especially for programming - good lord) and C4 would be a near perfect platform for my needs. The extra money over a full DIY HA system got me: a purpose-built appliance, quality first party hardware, someone to handle the grunt work of the initial setup and ensure complex integrations (eg with security system) work, and free reign to tinker with whatever I want (thanks to a fantastic one-click jailbreak tool). 
Seems like a good value prop
