Hello,
You can maintain your own, external (preferably OS level) CSS file, and load it using your page template, the same way APEX loading its own CSS file.
If you look at your page template, in the HTML Header section, you'll see something like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="#IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_5/theme_V2.css" type="text/css" />In this case this is the CSS file for theme 5. You can put your own CSS file in the same directory as the rest of your theme file, and use a similar link.
Take into consideration that because the cascading effect (the first C in CSS) you need to load your file after the original APEX files, so in case you are targeting the same selectors (elements/attributes), yours will get precedent.
The best place to start learning a bit more about CSS is the following http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp
Hope this helps,
Arie.
