Different icon overlays for TortoiseSVN and TortoiseGit

Question

I have installed both, TortoiseSVN and TortoiseGit, on my Windows 10 system. To be able to more easily discern between Git- and SVN-based projects, I figured it would be best to use different icon overlays for both clients. Unfortunately, when I change the icon overlay in e.g. TortoiseSVN, the overlays for git-repositories also change to the icon set I selected in TortoiseSVN.

Is there a way to use different icon overlays for TortoiseSVN and TortoiseGit?

Answer 1

This is not possible. Because Windows only supports 15 overlay icons, the TortoiseXYZ projects share the same overlay icon handler to reduce the number of installed overlay icon handlers.
