CSS is often hierarchical in GWT widgets. You have a primary style
name and then additional secondary styles that are swapped out
according to user actions (like select, hover etc). With a Tab panel
the tabs are controlled by the TabBar class, and you can see it has a
primary style gwt-TabBar and a selection of additional styles.

.gwt-TabBar {
}

.gwt-TabBar .gwt-TabBarFirst {
}

.gwt-TabBar .gwt-TabBarRest {
}

.gwt-TabBar .gwt-TabBarItem {
}

.gwt-TabBar .gwt-TabBarItem-selected {
}

To custom style TabBars differently all you have to do is copy this
template CSS and replace gwt-TabBar with my-TabBar. Then you set the
style as:

myTabPanel.getTabBar().setPrimaryStyleName("my-TabBar");

Do not change the gwt- part of the secondary style names as the
internal TabBar code won't recognize them. E.g. you end up with

.my-TabBar .gwt-TabBarItem-selected {
}

So you can have as many different styles for the same GWT widget class
within the same application as you like.
