Partial The home-bar UI is ordinary web/TV-app work, but it depends on rooted webOS internals and the launcher's behavior, which require device-specific reverse engineering.
What it would actually take: Building it means understanding the webOS launcher's window and compositing model on rooted LG TVs, then writing a webOS app or overlay that sits above the video plane. The UI itself is simple web tech; the hard part is device-specific system integration and testing on real hardware.
