I wouldn't know where to begin on this, and I'm not even sure which bar
you're talking about. The last bar I have before the system bar is the menu
bar (which for me isn't black). I've never played with menus, but perhaps
it's feasible to create a dummy menu which displays the theme name. You
could also probably define a minor mode that displays your theme name in
the mode line
<https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Mode-Line.html>.

My setup doesn't pick up the themes automatically from the custom theme
load path - you have to add each theme to the variable my-themes.

;; Cycle through this set of themes
(setq my-themes '(robin-hood charcoal-black classic dark-blue desert))

I'm sure there's a way to generate this list automatically by parsing the
folders in custom-theme-load-path.
