I have to modify a Wordpress website created by other developers. I have no contact with them. They used the wordpress theme Big Picture. I've never used it before and I have some doubts.

1) This theme allows to change the color scheme. Based on the scheme you choose it selects a different css file. At the moment the white-pink scheme is selected and the relative css file is white-pink.css . Now, I need to add some custom styles, but when I go on the theme editor I can only edit the style.css file from there, which is never used because it is for another scheme. I changed the header.php to make it also use this style.css, but I'm wondering if isn't there any way to edit the white-pink.css file from the theme editor. Ideas?

2) in this theme there is a vertical navigation sidebar on the left. They added the qTranslate plugin as widget to this bar, but now I'm asked to move the flags to choose the language on the top of the page. Searching around I've found a line of code to use the plugin without adding it through widgets. The problem is that I don't know in which file to put it. It's strange, because I tried editing the index.php file which contains the tag, but it doesn't show anything that I put in there.

Suggestions?

You'll need to FTP to your theme files. Many themes have the css in a Sub-folder, which is probably why you can't edit it from the WordPress editor. As for the plug-in you'll probably need to include code in your functions.php file, but I can't say for sure without more details.
