Provide a dark variant officially #710

Environment: Arch Linux + Gnome 3.28 Problem: Gnome Tweaks has removed the Global Dark Theme switch since 3.25.91. See more on https://jeremy.bicha.net/2017/08/29/gnome-tweaks-3-25-91/

There are two solutions that work for the moment:

  1. Modify Gtk configuration file manually. Add the following lines to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
    [Settings]
    gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=1

    Not sure when will Gnome remove support for Global Dark Theme completely.

  2. Use an unofficial dark version for Numix. For example, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/numix-themes-darkblue/

It would be better if Numix officially provides a dark variant.
