I should point out that I still think both are bugs that need to be
fixed. I haven't updated to 1.5.2, but if these issues are still there,
then they are still bugs. I still don't have ANY icons in my
right-click menu (since I have to leave it set to 0 unless I want one of
my apps. to crash incessantly). And I still think the new icons are
still gaudy. Especially the "?" icon used to indicate that the files
are not under version control.

I can understand the desire to update the icons for Vista. That is all
fine and dandy. It would be nice for us XP users if we could download
"icon packs" (and it would be even nicer if we could download them from
within the TortoiseSVN UI so we don't have to figure out where to put them).
