Unfortunately I can't share code or say too much about what what is needed, but it would certainly help if you understood method swizzling and found a way to dump all the Obj_c classes that the Finder uses internally.

I've never used Dropbox, but - on the offhand chance that you want overlays only on certain icons, not generic ones - you can add overlays by adding a 'badg' resource to the file's resource fork (or to the hidden .icon\r file inside the folder).
