Just to make myself clear. I wanted a black/dark grey taskbar like in vista but with normal solid light blue/grey window frames.
Taskbar color

Aero gives you the glass beams over titlebars and taskbar thumbnails, desktop peek etc, so just turning transparency off isn't the same thing.

On that tutorial theres a black task bar theme already done in a zip. Although i cannot work out where to put the unzipped file

It's hiding in 'C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Aero' but it just prevented me opening any windows whilst trying it, but I'm on Build 7264 x64.
If you still want to try it: (Make a restore point first!)
Take ownership of the file thats already there at 'C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Aero',
Make a backup of the original 'aero.msstyles',
Switch theme to 'Windows Classic',
Restart PC so Aero gets unloaded,
Overwrite the existing file and then go themes and select it.
