Prior to RS3 and the new interface stuff, if you put your mouse over something, it would display what it was in the top left corner of the screen. With the update, the words aren't visible. I prefer having the words up top instead of the mouseover text where the box appears over the top of the object. Is there a way this is possible? Also, side question, I am wondering about recommended interface set ups. I am currently using retro but I am curious if people found a set up they like.

Nope that feature is gone and it is a pita cause so many things don't do tool tips yet -.-

Well the feature isn't gone, it's still on the top of the screen if you look carefully. Jagex just did a sloppy job with how the screen appears so you can't see the description in the top left corner. I'm hoping they'll fix it soon.
