No. If you are using applicationCSS you only get CSS-Support but you are not able to change the CSS-Theme as easy as it is possible with the Theme-Stuff beside people can't contribute their CSS-Snippets like they can with CSS-Themes. There's no theme manager setup for you in case of applicationCSS - it is really only for very simple RCP-Application who want to be as simple as possible (e.g. no fragment contributions, not using commands, ...)
