News tab was edited via "news.txt" in icroot. The other UI changes were done through taskbar.lua. We sadly still don't have access to the source code.

Some while ago someone tried to Hex edit the IC executable and changed some values. I thought people expanded on that.

Hex editing of the .DLL file is commonly done to change the population cap values and to shorten the cheats ('cheat_coal' to 'cheat_c', 'cheat_electricity' to 'cheat_e', etc.).

To my knowledge, there have been no other practical uses found for hex editing because it can be hard to know what values to edit; a lot of it is just jumbled numbers and symbols. It wouldn't surprise me if there are still some cool new things that can be done via hex editing that have yet to be discovered.
