You probably could, just follow that video.
If you want to open the menu currently it would work with [shift]+[Win]

The skin is designed to match the taskbar color. Also adding it wouldn't be as simple as applying an .xml you also have to transfer the .skin file into the skins folder (in classic shells install directory)
