[Helvécio da Silva]

First, I'd check wether I can change this particular point through my
template's parameters. If I can't, I'd look for a way to summon my new CSS
file from in the template's parameters. No luck? I'd give it a try to
adding the following line to the head of my template:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/<?php
echo $this->template ?>/css/mynewfile.css" type="text/css" />

If this doesn't work (Commercial templates can be tricky sometimes...) I'd
go to the template's support forum or support system, if it's a paid
template.

If there's a problem, there's a solution.

All the best!
