Hi Stefano,
  VMD uses the program "Stride" for its secondary structure determination
and cartoon representations. This Tcl script should allow you to use
the secondary structure information in a PDB file instead of what
Stride calculates. Also, you could use this script as a guide in
writing your own script routine to customize the secondary structure.

Thanks,
