    Icon overlay limit in windows 10?


    As you may be aware of, windows 7 and windows 8 only allows for 15 icon overlays to be used by such programs as:
    — Dropbox
    — Tortoise SVN
    — Mega

    I wonder if this limit has been increased in windows 10?

    Reference:
    Windows 8 Max Overlay Icons

    :)

    Icon overlays in Windows 10

    Hi,

    There are currently 15 slots allotted for icon overlays in the system image list of Windows 10. 4 of these are reserved for the system, and OneDrive uses 5, leaving six slots for use by other icon overlay handlers. If more than 15 icon overlays are registered
    in the system, the extra icon overlays aren't used. This limit of 15 overlay icons applies to Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10.

    Don't hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions about your computer.
