rekonq interface

Hello guys. There seems to be a recent trend in internet browsers to pile up all the options like file, edit, view, bookmarks ect all into a one button option, and on a side note, i've even noticed Dolphin the file browser has addopted this as of kde 4.7.
I really dislike this feature. In Opera and Dolphin it is easy to get it to revert to the classic interface.
I am looking for a qt browser since firefox and opera will not take to my qtcurve theme.
My three options i'm aware of:
Konqueror
Rekonq
Arora
I do not like Konqueror, and i doubt i ever will.
I do like the feature set and path Rekonq is taking, but i find it to have the worst interface imaginable.
Arora is alright, i'm using it right now. It has a nice interface, simple but it lacks a couple features.

Is it possible to change the Rekonq interface to match Firefox, Arora ect? Meaning, have 'file, edit, view, history, bookmark' ect buttons at the top.

Thank you

Install:

kde-config-gtk-style - KDE configuration module for GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3.x styles selection
kde-style-qtcurve - QtCurve widget style for KDE 4
kwin-style-qtcurve - QtCurve window decoration for KWin
gtk2-engines-qtcurve - This is a set of widget styles for Gtk2 based apps

Then open SystemSettings>Application Appearance>GTK Configuration
and under Window Style choose QTcurve.

You may have to create/edit ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde4
See: Uniform Look for Qt and GTK Applications - ArchWiki - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php...ations#QtCurve

Personally I use Oxygen and the Oxygen Firefox theme.
My ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde4

Code:

# File created by KDE Gtk Config

# Configs for GTK2 programs 



include "/usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"

style "user-font" 

{

        font_name="DejaVu Sans"

}

widget_class "*" style "user-font"

gtk-font-name="DejaVu Sans 9"

gtk-theme-name="oxygen-gtk"

gtk-icon-theme-name="oxygen"

gtk-fallback-icon-theme="nuvola"

gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS

gtk-menu-images=0

gtk-button-images=0

Thanks craigevil. I've installed gtk2-engines-qtcurve. I haven't yet followed your instructions. Previously i'd gotten it to work by making a symlink of /usr/share/themes/QtCurve/gtk-2.0/gtkrc to /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc. This has worked for me, and all gtk2 apps take on the theme. My issue with this is i use opacity in the windows. Gtk apps take it on fine except firefox. I've posted this on the kde forums:
http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=108309
And i got told the following.

Quote:

Firefox and Thunderbird are Gtk applications in name only, because they use XUL extensively. As such you will need to locate QtCurve themes for theme seperately, through their respective addon services.

So unfortunatly i don't think your instructions will fix my issue.
Thanks being helpful though and posting in such detail.
