Sounds nice but how do I set it up? I'm new to Greasemonkey...

If you have GM installed, just install script from my link.
Script's author explains:
Quote
Forgive me I make you you feel like a baby, but I'm going to explain everything so that someone with no technical knowledge could use this. First, make sure you have firefox with the greasemonkey extension installed. Then click the install script button on this page and let it install. Right click the monkey icon in the lower right corner of your screen and choose "Manage User Scripts". Select customizeGoogle in the pane on the left. Click the edit button. If this is your first time editing a script, you will see a browse box. Navigate to c:\windows\notepad.exe and press ok. Go to the line that says var name =""; and enter your name in-between the two quotation marks. Go to the next line and enter your first initial. Next, you need to find or create an image and create an account on www.freewebs.com or something like it. Upload the image to the website you just created. Write down the location of this file (eg. www.freewebs.com/yourName/picture.bmp) Now type this location into the line that says var picLoc = "" And thats it! If you need more information just leave another comment.

This is how my script looks like after editing said three lines:

var name = "BRONI"; //Your Name
var initial = "B"; //Your First Initial of your first name
var picLoc = "http://209.85.48.8/228/109/upload/p3250899.gif"; //src location of the picture that will replace the Google image


where http://209.85.48.8/228/109/upload/p3250899.gif is the location, where I uploaded the image.
