Yes.
Application -> Toolbar -> Tools -> Addons -> Appearance -> shows
installed themes and the Gear icon allows adding local themes.

Application -> Toolbar -> Tools -> Addons -> and the gear icon allows
searching for Themes online

~/.kde/share/config/gtkrc and gtkrc-2.0
This allows KDE to override GTK settings.

per application:-

For Icedove (Thunderbird) - the extension is listed in
~/.icedove/$Gibberish/default/extensions.ini and
~/.icedove/$Gibberish/default/extensions/NuvolaTB at paenglab.ch.xpi
(change ~/.icedove/ to ~/.thunderbird/ for your system)

Ditto for Firefox
~/.mozilla/firefox/$Gibberish.default/extensions.ini
~/.mozilla/firefox/$Gibberish.default/extensions/NuvolaFF at paenglab.ch.xpi

I have neither of those applications (these are KDE workstations - this
one is 32-bit)).

That I don't know. I use both to try and make gtk less, um, different
than the rest of a mostly qt environment.
