- Can I

can I download free pictures, images and symbols
from?
YES!! You
can paste any image, symbol, digital photograph or
clipart directly into Overboard. Just right
click on any picture you want to use, select "Copy"
then go into Overboard and select "Paste".
That's all there is to it.

photographs and more from any of the following links
(click on the following to jump to the corresponding
page).
PicSearch,
Google Images,
Microsoft Clipart,
Clipart.com, and many others!!
- Why don't
Gus symbols show "jaggies" when they are enlarged in
Overboard?
Firstly, Gus symbols are created using fine lines. Wide
lines are much more likely to become "jagged" as
they are enlarged. Secondly, our symbols were
drawn at a larger original size so that they
do not experience as much stretching during
enlarging...which causes "jaggies".
Lastly, they were created as "bitmap" graphics, so
they can be edited, modified, enlarged and
manipulated without having to be converted from
metafiles to bitmaps during use.
