I love my new Linux Mint system, but I've noticed that all the themes leave me with those large gray/metal window borders, which I really don't like.

How can I edit this, and why do most themes simply change how the taskbar looks?

Have you looked at the "Other Settings" tab in the Cinnamon Settings -> Themes dialog? It allows you to select some other options for how the borders/buttons look. That said, I don't find any of the other options better. – Ash Jan 14 at 10:21
I'm embarrassed now, thanks a lot... – Yannbane Jan 14 at 11:23
I actually remember being there a couple of weeks ago, also, if you would add your comment as an answer that'd be great. – Yannbane Jan 14 at 11:24
Sure. There's also the option of downloading entirely new themes, some of which drastically alter the appearance. I found one (FiftyWays?) that looked good as a test for answering this question, but I just couldn't get the thing to install no matter where I put it. Oh well. – Ash Jan 14 at 11:52

In the Cinnamon Settings -> Themes dialog, there is an "Other Settings" tab. On this tab you can set things such as Window theme (appearance of borders) and Icon theme.
