Hey Magnus,

Custom stencils are only officially available in the Enterprise edition and to this point aren't really documented.
However, there is a blog post from 2014 that goes over an early version of Custom Stencil creation which should give you what you need.

BPMN 2.0 / Activiti: Custom palette available in the Alfresco Activiti Editor

As well as custom task stencils, it is also possible to create custom property field types in Activiti Enterprise.
Hope this helps,

Greg
