Do overlay icons work for other apps when you're using small icons?

Ah: "To display an overlay icon, the taskbar must be in the default large icon 
mode. If the taskbar is configured through Taskbar and Start Menu Properties to 
show small icons, overlays cannot be applied and calls to this method are 
ignored."
