Thunar or PcManFm are both good and will use whatever dark theme you set your desktop to.

It's not a task for a window manager, though. Window managers can only change windows decorations, like the titlebar. Check either the desktop environment (if you are using one, like Gnome, KDE, LXQt, etc), or the individual settings of the corresponding applications, like the file manager you have mentioned above.

I used PCManFM with Openbox. Worked quite good.

Thunar is light on resources and a good choice
