Modifying Confluence Header

Question

Is there any way to modify the Confluence header area without requiring a plugin? We want to add a dropdown to the default Confluence header bar for additional space navigation. We currently accomplish this through a plugin, but the cost is not justified for the single feature we use it for. Can this be done through modifying layouts, be it from within the app or server-side? Or anything else not requiring a plugin?

Thanks!

Well you have access to the page layouts, and can also added any needed Javascript to the header. So it is very do-able, but you need to document your changes so that you can re-apply them when you upgrade,
