Well, the steps for adding the CSS stuff into a 3.5 app is by getting the CSS plugins, instantiating a CSS engine and applying it at the correct SWT level. But complete CSS support in an RCP app (that uses CTabFolder) in 3.5 is hard.

3.4 is not supported at all.

There's some reference material:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/E4/CSS

And there are CSS tests and examples in the repo under e4/org.eclipse.e4.ui/examples
