Black theme for Cinnamon

Hi guys,
I want to know how to set a dark background for Cinnamon windows and menus (instead of the white default).
The theme choosing offer a poor choice regarding this setting (few themes are dark but often ugly and outdated): I really like Numix, but it doesn't change windows background.

However, since I've used Gnome with the dark theme (obtained with its own tweak tool), when I decided to return to Cinnamon (and forgot to delete some Gnome configurations), I've found "the solution": indeed I've obtained a "Numix dark" style.

But... to obtain that, I need to use Gnome Tweak Tool, which isn't designed for Cinnamon and may cause some mistake? Basically Cinnamon is already a tweaked Gnome, so I won't to "get it dirty".
Can you propose me an alternative to obtain same effects (dark background without renunciation of Numix) and prevent me to use unneeded stuff?
Thanks a lot
