the 'KControl > Appearances > GTK Styles and Fonts' menu is available if you install the theme engine called GTK-Qt. alternatively, you can install 'GTK Theme Switch' which gives you the command-line tools 'switch' and 'switch2' to change gtk and gtk2 themes, respectively.
so that's where it was... i feel so stupid... how come i never tried right-clicking the bookmark folder? thanks man!
i've been playing around with using konqueror as a web browser recently, and i like it a lot, mainly it preforms a lot better than firefox on KDE (obviously). however, firefox is still my primary browser, only because i've come to depend on its ability to open an entire folder of bookmarks into tabs with one click. i can't seem to find a similar option for konqi. i did find a feature that was the other way around, bookmarking all open tabs into a folder. i this feature in konqueror? thanks!
