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?

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.

Yes . This works.You need to download the themes first online. There are plenty.I used Mint-xp. Once themes are downloaded you can use path menu-->system settings--> Themes--> other settings--> change window border and control. You will get the look you desire. Thanks.

If you have installed custom theme (e.g. Windows-10-master) to /home/username/.themes and don't see it in Window borders, enable it using terminal:

sudo gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.wm.preferences theme Windows-10-master
