"SevenVG Black RTM" theme provides the same Windows 7 feeling in XP, at the same time it makes the people happy who love dark themes.

^^ Its the only Black version. I don't know which theme are you talking about? This theme doesnt add any process in background. Most probably you downloaded some transformation pack from any other site. You can also check following theme:
