I procrastinated a bit the other day and searched how to hack Unity's console GUI...
This script allows you to hack Unity's Console GUI to add your own buttons or other GUI components above or below the original one.
In this example I added a toggle to enable using a monospace font for the console (note: this is now an option in Unity 2021+).
Works in Unity 2020.3 but heavily untested, and you will have to reinject the custom method after each domain reload (although this can likely be automatized).
