If you have a PC:

ALWAYS HAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR MARBLE BLAST GAME, IN CASE YOU MAKE A MISTAKE!

Ok, if you have already downloaded them and saved them somewhere, find them wherever you saved them at and Copy them. Then just go to your "Marble Blast" folder. You then go to the "marble" folder, then the "Data" folder, then the "shapes" folder, then somewhere in there is a file called "base.marble". (It might be in yet another folder. Just look for it in there.) Make sure you have a backup of your base.marble file, in case you want your old colored marble back. Delete your first "base.marble" file and put in your custom marble texture you downloaded. Rename it base.marble , then start your Marble Blast game. If you see the custom texture on your marble, you did it right. If your marble is light brown, or has a different texture on it, you did it wrong. If you did it wrong, repeat these instructions, making sure you still have a backup of your Marble Blast game. Sorry, I know these are long instructions, but its very easy.

If you have a Mac or another type of computer:

Sorry, i do not know how to do it on any computer besides a PC.

Hope this helps.

To customize your marble, just go into the marble blast gold file on my computer, go into marble/data/shapes/balls and click on base.marble. It will open with paint, then design it and hit save. That's all there is to it!

Sorry, I forgot something:}. In your case, do what I said but go into the design you want your marble to be and save it as base.marble:)

You also need to add an alpha channel to the PNG if you are making it from scratch.

I understand what Pablo means, I did it before and i put the color to 0.01 and it was really solid.
