Desktop apps are styled by the OS to fit the look and feel. You don't get many desktop app designers. Some, but not many. No one asks for VB and PhotoShop. People don't expect web sites to look exactly like a Mac. Especially not on a Windows machine.
HTML doesn't come with a standard (or any) look. Nor does JavaScript. And GWT is HTML and JavaScript. And no-one wants their web site to look exactly like someone else's. Sorry, but I think you are going to have to let your creative flair loose. You might even get to like it.
