Description
Currently only the Light variant of Mint-X is selectable...
but Terminal shows that it has a Dark theme variant as well:
It would be both pretty nice to have a Dark and/or Mixed variant selectable in the Theme preferences, with the Mixed theme having a dark panel and dark Cinnamon-specific elements and, optionally, a dark titlebar/menubar (and toolbars + CSD whenever possible) as a throwback to the older versions of the Mint-X theme:
If I knew how to make/edit GTK2/3 themes I would, but I don't, so for the time being asking is the best thing I could've thought of.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the existing Mint-X Light theme and the GTK2/3 theme definitions, then compare them with the Dark variant shown in Terminal. Done means Dark and/or Mixed variants are selectable in Theme preferences, including the requested dark Cinnamon-specific elements and optional dark titlebar or menubar.
