Hi Jan Simon,

It is quite easy to create marble themes. In your case, I would start with a 
copy of the openstreetmap theme, and make the changes to that. The most 
important file is the .dgml file, but just copy the whole directory. 

Look in /usr/share/apps/marble/data/maps/earth for it.

You can place your theme in ~/.local/share/marble in the appropriate path for 
marble to see it.
