Most likely looks like your users will need **Library Validation** disabled as well as **SIP**  
Shouldn’t be a big deal for those already willing to turn off **SIP**  
I wouldn’t be surprised if this makes it’s way to Catalina at some point as well. Basically all apps actively being developed by Apple have this set on.

**Big Sur**

```
codesign -dvvvv /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app
CodeDirectory v=20100 size=87553 flags=0x2000(library-validation) hashes=2729+5 location=embedded

```

**Catalina**

```
codesign -dvvvv /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app
CodeDirectory v=20100 size=85729 flags=0x0(none) hashes=2672+5 location=embedded

```

To disable Library Validation just run the following command _with **SIP** off_. Then reboot. You don’t need to be in Recovery Mode to run the command but you can set it there I belive.

```
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.security.libraryvalidation.plist DisableLibraryValidation -bool true

```

Not sure if there’s anything beyond that stopping the injection. I have no problem with my sidebar coloring tweak loading.

EDIT: Confirmed, except none of the features seem to be available post loading…
