A quick reminder of Intent:
Zorin OS comes with the Zorin Themes, of which you have Zorin-blue-dark, Zorin-red-dark... and so on. These only fully work on Gnome and XFCE, as those are the desktops that come with Zorin OS.
These Zenith themes are complimentary, to add the Additional Support for Mate or Cinnamon Desktops; as Zorin already includes the themes for XFCE and Gnome.

The above Zenith themes:
Zenith-Blue-Dark
Zenith-Grey-Dark
Zenith-Purple-Dark
Zenith-Red-Dark
Zenith-Green-Dark
Zenith-Orange-Dark
...all now updated to include an XFWM4 theme for Zorin OS Lite.
You can select the appropriate Zenith Theme for the Window Manager Settings and the appropriate matching Zorin Theme for the Appearance Settings.
This will increase the Grab Area on All Windows for Resizing on XFCE Zorin Lite.
I will continue later to add Zenith-(COLOR)-Light themes in future.
If you already have a Zenith Theme installed:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
To install:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:aravisian/gtk-theming
sudo apt update && sudo apt install zenith-grey-dark
sudo apt update && sudo apt install zenith-blue-dark
sudo apt update && sudo apt install zenith-purple-dark
sudo apt update && sudo apt install zenith-red-dark
sudo apt update && sudo apt install zenith-orange-dark
sudo apt update && sudo apt install zenith-green-dark

Really great work @Aravisian making this theme available to cinnamon (and mate) users!!! Thank you very much.
Any news on the -Light themes? Especially the window decorations would be handy. Personally I prefer dark panel and menu but light window decorations.
Btw. Is it intended that the Zenith Dark Desktop themes do not show the bar below running apps on the panel in Cinnamon D.E.? With other Desktop themes there is a visible line below running apps.

The visible bar is a way of showing; there are many... some light the entire button or change the button appearance. I probably used one of my own methods for showing the currently opened tasklist button.
I do not use Gnome, so I may have missed some of the details on how Zorin Theme looks on that D.E. Feedback like this helps suss those details out. I will look into fixing this.
No news other than a series of works in progress...
I have been quite busy lately and slowly working my way through lists of projects between work.
I tested these themes and they work amazingly. However, I wanted to also try them on the Fedora Cinnamon spin, but is that possible somehow considering it uses dnf rather than apt? Is there an option compatible with Fedora?
Thanks Aravisian
Yes, you can install alien
sudo apt install alien
Alien can be used to convert .rpm to .deb and .deb to .rpm.
alien --to-deb /path/to/file.rpm
Or the other way
alien --to-rpm /path/to/file.deb
OR...
You can just extract the .deb file and move the Zenith Theme folder to the relevant /cinnamon/themes folder - which is all that the installer does anyway.

Going the manuel route you described, I was able to put the Zorin Purple Dark theme into the correct folder for the Themes application (/usr/share/themes) to recognize it using root privilege. However, it still doesn't appear in the "applications" theming section like it easily did when I tried it with Zorin OS Cinnamon.
Am I missing a step? Thanks!
In your screenshot,t he browser window is covering the Themes Folder. Can I see a Screenshot of the Themes folder?

Oh, I see... These were made to add additional supplement to the existing Zorin Theme. So, they do not contain the GTK portion.
For that, you need the Zorin Theme, which you would not have already on Fedora.
Here you go:
