This would have been so useful if I could figure out what your doing...

I was reading a book Introducing to Character animation with Blender. The Custom bone shapes and some links to those shapes are sometimes neded to animate the object more easy. I admit the video is not so clear, but i tryed first to seperate the bones and than i just manipulate it with custom shape.

As u can see from video custom bone shapes don't change the size, when u change object conected with them, but thez change the shape according to that object. To show that i sed the multires function.

The shape of bones that are separated, change shape only in animation mode and not in other modes. Video show's that with swithing beetwen the modes.

Thank you! I had no idea how to create a custom-shaped bone. After watching where you clicked, I was able to figure it out.
