So, this morning I finally entertained Tortoise’s incessant whining to update to its latest version (1.5.2) and I took the plunge. The one thing that annoys me the most about the upgrade process is the fact I have to restart the machine in order for the installation to finish, this I find is so archaic and out of date compared to 99% of all other software installation. (Obviously I’m not stupid enough to realise that there’s quite a bit of interaction on the OS level with Tortoise, but still, it’s one annoyance I would rather do without)
Once I’m restarted and on the go again, I go to browse one of my SVN directories and I’m greeted with some disgusting icons. They’ve gone and replaced the XPStyle icon set with some… quite frankly, god awful ones. They blur horribly at 16×16 size and just don’t look nice at all in my opinion, so it was then finding out how to change the icons.

Thanks for sharing the pre 1.5 version overlay icons, I had exactly the same experience as you. The new icons are blurry and harder to read.
Btw, instead of restarting Windows after selecting the new icons, just restart explorer.exe with taskmanager. Worked for me!
Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much

@Lars: worked indeed
Awesome, thanks! I was looking for the icons the other day…
