I have the same situation.

1) The 16x16 icon overlays are too big; they cover a big part of the file icons
rendering many of them unrecognizable.
Also, regarding the "Modern" icon set (it applies to others too): the icons
have only two formats: 16 colors and XP (RGB+alpha). Using default configuration
("show icons using all possible colors") Windows 2K uses the XP-format images
to render the icons but ignores the alpha channel (it doesn't know alpha
channel); the result is terrible.
My suggesion: use the icons from version 1.4 and add the fancy large images
(Vista-style) to them while keeping the low-res, low color depth images
for backward compatibility.

2) I have no TortoiseSVN icons in the context menus (and sub-menus); setting or
removing the "HKCU\Software\TortoiseSVN\OwnerdrawnMenus" value makes no
difference.
I remember this value was configurable on the 1.4.* versions via a tri-states
checkbox but I cannot found it in the setup dialog on version 1.5.2.

My setup:
  Win 2K + SP4
  TortoiseSVN 1.5.2

Thank you.
