Is there a dark mode for Fedora Mate? If so how do you enable it?

Menu-->System-->Control Center-->Look and Feel-->Appearance

This was in my Mint MATE VM, where several dark modes were installed by default. On the "Appearance" page, there is also an option to download more themes.

It's worth noting that if you get a set of icons, themes, and borders (oh.. wait..) .. that you like as a 'darkmode', rather than manually changing between them it's worth setting up a toggle script with BASH that just uses the command line utilities to change the settings. You can then bind a button your toolbar that just runs it and switches back and forth. I have one for XFCE4, I know it's possible with MATE just haven't tried yet..
