Changing size of graphics within the tiles/icons in start menu

Hello,

Here is my start menu:



I cannot find how to make the icons for apps larger. For no apparent reason, the Opera Browser icon (the actual icon, not the blue tile) is larger than, say, the Adobe apps. And the 'Live Tile' icons are lovely and fill the tile.

Is there any way to control the size of the icon within the tile? It seems silly to have great big blue tiles, with a tiny little icon sitting in the middle of each one. I've searched around, but can only find information on how to alter the size of the whole tile, not the icon within it.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

How do I modify a tile's icon on Start menu?

Hi,

Let's try and see if we can change the icon on the Windows 10 tiles when pinning. Follow these steps:

• Go to "C:\Programfiles (x86) \Google\Chrome\Application"
• Look for the file called "visualelementsmanifest.xml"
• Delete it (make sure that you make a backup/copy of the file before deleting)
• Unpin and re-pin the links to the start menu.

Let us know how it goes.

 

How to Move Desktop Icon to start Menu or create a tile.

I have even added my batch files to the apps list*Wink

1. You need to create a desktop shortcut for it first by "send to desktop".
2. Then cut & paste it into C:\Users\UserNameHere\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
3. Open start menu and look on the list view, right click the icon(always make my own), and pin to start.
4. I then go to my batch files original location, and a 256x256 .png of my icon, and an XML .VisualElementsManifest to it, and now I have my custom tile for my batch file.
