TortoiseSVN The coolest Interface to (Sub)Version Control

Some applications don't display the TortoiseSVN menus properly. They can even be completely blank (no icons, no text)

This is because the icons are completely ownerdrawn. If you don't like the way TSVN handles its menu entries, you can do the following: Just create a (DWORD) registry entry under:
HKCU\\Software\\TortoiseSVN\\OwnerdrawnMenus and set it to 0. This will force TortoiseSVN to use the windows standard routine to draw menu entries. You'll have all the menu entries any time, but you will have ugly icons, since window's default only allows 10x10 icons. If you delete this registry key (the default) or set it to something else than 0 you have the nice icons back.
In case you want no icons at all you can set this value to 2. Then the context menu entries show up as text only.
