Some SIP settings require disabling so you can modify the appropriate files -- it's your choice whether or not you want to do this -- not doing so means you cannot apply the changes required.

While there are backup .car
files in this repo, please backup yours
locally just in-case. Here's an example of how to do so.
rsync -rI \
/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemAppearance.bundle/Contents/Resources/ \
~/Desktop/saResourcesBackup
In the Appearance
folder on this repo copy the appropriate (for your
theme i.e. light or dark) edited .car
file into
/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemAppearance.bundle/Contents/Resources/
,
e.g. for DarkAquaAppearance
you'd copy
DarkAquaAppearance/Edited/DarkAquaAppearance.car
.
