So, you need to make sure the package "gnome-themes-standard" is installed (it was present in a default Mint 17 Cinnamon install I just tried). Then, you need to go Menu -> Preferences -> Themes. This pops up the theme dialog box. Ignore the main tab showing the list of themes. Instead go to the "Other Settings" tab and for the "Controls" and "Window borders" drop down lists select "Adwaita". Now entangle displays with the dark theme - as do other GNOME apps like Totem which request this.
