It was suggested in the forums that an issue be created to improve Cinnamon Settings. This has probably been thought of and discussed by one of the developers already, but it should probably be brought up just in case. Right now properly setting a theme for Gnome 3 is a mess of settings. Gnome Tweak Tool sets the cursor, Icon, and GTK themes, Cinnamon Settings sets the Cinnamon theme, and the Window Border/theme needs to be set in gconf-editor.

Cinnamon Settings should be improved to handle everything else, I believe, or Gnome Tweak Tool should be merged into Cinnamon Settings. Ideally, there should be one central location to set the complete theme for the desktop instead of having various pieces of it scattered throughout different settings apps and the editor.

The original idea for this came from here; http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=208&t=92472&p=531028#p531015

Apologize if this was elsewhere, but I didn't see it.
