Suppose I want to come back to Color sidebar icon for Finder. For Lion I followed these instructions, but seems not working anymore (SIMBL is not working with Sierra):

So, do you know if there is a way to change from this fantastic soviet union gray sidebar to one with color?
thanks,

In Terminal, run the following command. You should find the word Network mentioned at least once in your .plist preference file:
defaults read com.apple.sidebarlists | grep Network
As I can't drag Network to my Finder sidebar — and as sidebar takes a different approach to showing shared items — I guess that:
Probably easiest with Xcode.
If you don't have Xcode, then use TextWrangler or anything that's capable of editing this type of property list.
Xcode views of the property list:
A TextWrangler view:
⇧⌘K
First try removing, from the property list, unwanted or redundant items relating to Network.
A guess: it may be necessary to quit Finder, or log out, before some types of change become effective.
If following removals and a log out you find that SHARED is still without All…, consider asking a separate question.
Unfortunately, this is the behaviour of the SIMBL plugin.
One oddity about this solution is that you may need to kill the Finder again to bring the color icons back after a full system reboot

Use mySIMBL* instead, SIMBL has been non-functional since apple implemented System Integrity Protection. Once you've set up mySIMBL install the package at:
Sources >>> Wolf's tweaks >>> colorfulSidebar9.
Then restart Finder and you should have colored sidebar icons again.
