If you choose qtcurve ( nice ones are in configuring qtcurve) and run 
gtk qtcurve too you can get nicer theme but you will have to select them 
each time you get out (i don't know how to keep it after a new session. 
While in kde run gtk-chteme and choose a nice theme for gtk2 and gtk3 
with adwaita
