From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

There are many types of themes (look at what's inside the theme folder) eg. cursor, icons, widget (gtk/qt), wm/de specific stuff (xfwm, cinnamon) etc.
The theme you downloaded might only have cinnamon folder, they can only affect the taskbar and the start menu. For the titlebar, you want gtk themes (the one with gtk-x.xx folder) and select it under Applications theme.
I think the ones listed under simplified theme are just presets of icon+cursor+gtk+desktop themes bundled together.
Can you recommend one with a short window title bar? I've tried numerous ones that appear in the Main Menu -> Preferences -> Themes: Add/Remove Tab. None of them thus far has made any difference regarding the height of the title bar. Or are you suggestions to get these gtk themes from elsewhere?
Yeah, I usually download them from Pling. You could try NewAdwaita-slim.
