RE: How do you change the start menu (tile) icon?Opera GX
@xii-nyth well the name was missing the .scale, so tried changing to a different image instead of modifying the one in assets. Oddly neither of them worked, I guess that xml is unused now because I didn't see anything else change to the image I set.
Afterwards I went to change the shortcut icon back to the original and I forgot where the image was, so I selected the exe rather than an ico. When pinned to start it chose a smaller scale just as I was trying to do manually.
Turns out that this is treated differently than an ico so you can just change the shortcut "icon" as sgunhouse suggested. Also I found that for apps like firefox which already use an image file outside of the icon group bound to a program, that image overrides this. It however also works on discord for example.

How do you change the start menu (tile) icon?Opera GX
I tried changing the shortcuts icon, and using "resource hacker" to change the icon group of both the launcher.exe and opera.exe
Didn't find any png's in the directory in case it set the image the same way firefox does it.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

@sgunhouse unfortunately that only changes the taskbar image and the shortcut icon.
I don't know why theres different icons for the exe/shortcuts/start in windows because all 3 of those support multiple sizes/formats in a group, and why they stopped then instead of also having independent shortcut file images/taskbar images because they are different places, as well as details view not having its own since its a different size.
