Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Locate the Cinnamon theme definitions in the repository, compare the current dark and rounded theme with the previous appearance, and confirm that both can be selected; done means the old appearance is available as a separate selectable theme.

Description

I just updated my system and to my surprise, the cinnamon theme has gone all dark and round, looking like gnome and it is pretty much a completely new theme. I would appreciate if it was forked and one could switch between this new dark version and the previous version. Thank you.
