I ran across a page a while back on the "lost" black theme. I had to google it to find it again.

You could download VistaMizer.That will make the Taskbar black and make your XP PC look like Vista.
This might be overkill for you but it looks ok and seems stable enough.
Like this.lol

my laptop isnt exactly state of the art.. would it handle it ok, or would it just be to much for it?

The language is English.
The links for download are only mirrors.
I guess it probably uses a bit of Ram but i cant tell how much.The icons on the top are nothing to do with Vistamizer btw.
The taskbar,start button and icons for network connections are the only visible changes Vistamizer has made in that pic.

Glad you like it
You could try ObjectDock or DesktopX.
I dont know of any freeware programs that do the same and you will have to pay for these(at least to get full functionality).
