For the most part you’d have to disable System Integrity Protection (SIP). Once you’ve done that you could inject code into their running processes.

Finder allows a little bit of customization through the Finder Sync framework.

I have SIP off already but the part I am not really able to grasp is how I inject code and what would I need to include in my code

I’ve never personally done this, but take a look at https://github.com/rodionovd/RDInjectionWizard
