Hey guys, I love the levels in MBP but I have never really enjoyed the sky boxes (to far removed from the cartoon styled sky boxes in MBG). Would it be possible to incorporate a feature into MBP that would allow the user to revert back to the MBG sky boxes or- even- select which skyboxe they want as their default. This would be similar to the way in which you can currently change your marble.

I completely understand if this is not possible / inconvenient- just though I would ask and see if anyone was interested...

Also- does anyone know of a way in which I could possibly change MBP's sky boxes to those found in MBG?

Ill take the duty to respond to this. Yes it is technically possible (but I imagine not that easly since skybox is determined by .mis and overriding skybox name every time level loads would conflict with something else I reckon). The question is, is it viable and really necessary feature and are more people interested in this? In my opinion MBP skyboxes are fine, if you would replace them with MBG one then theme of MBP would fall out of place, It just wouldn't look right.
What you can do though is try finding MBP skybox images somewhere in MBP files (under C:/users/yourusername/AppData/Roaming/Marble Blast Platinum) and replacing those with MBG skybox images. I can't guarantee though if anticheat system will get effected by this. If it will then you'll have to replace images back to old ones to play online.
