It depends :) I don't know the specifics of your application, nor which
version of GWT you're using. There are many ways to reach your goal
using GWT. Here is one:

Create a Public folder;
Put a file named MYAPP.css in that folder;
Modify your MYAPP.gwt.xml to call out that CSS or modify MYAPP.html to
load that css;
Compile your application. This step will copy the CSS to the same
directory as other compilation results;
Test your app to ensure that the CSS file loads (it will be empty, but
your server logs should show the request);

Choose a widget whose style you want to override;
Find its class selector in the documentation or the source code;
Put that definition into MYAPP.css; modify it as appropriate.
