How to make the VirtualBox icon fit on Windows 10 Start menu tile section?

Software to change any icon on Windows 10?
1 project | /r/software | 29 Apr 2023

Is there a program that lets you change any applications .exe no matter what? I know you can use programs like TileIconifer for the start menu tiles, but I've no luck in finding a program that let's me change any application's icon. Any suggestions?

Allows you to edit nearly all icons of apps pinned to the Start Menu. Can be downloaded from here, via Github. The only way I found to edit Folder shortcuts pinned to the Start Menu is to expand the Start Menu to fullscreen by going to Settings > Personalization > Start > Use Start full screen, then pressing the Start button, going to All Apps (see image) at the very top left, scrolling down to T > TileIconify, opening the dropdown menu, rightclicking the new Custom Shortcut, and Pin to Start. Simply going to %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\TileIconify\Custom Shortcuts and trying to Pin to Start did not work for me, as the option to Pin to Start didn't even work.
Really proud of how the Windows menu turned out (This is why I'm still on W10)

I used TileIconifier. You can even create custom "Apps" that are URLs.

How many programs are on your taskbar?

But I have my start menu organised well with textures using TileIconifier
When pinning things to start, certain apps have different background colors. Any way to make the two apps match the rest?

Where'd my old pinned folder & apps go?
1 project | /r/Windows11 | 8 Feb 2022

You cannot rename UWP apps but you can easily rename other applications by going to the shortcut folder and rename it from there and it will update in Start Menu. If you really need to change the UWP apps icon/rename you will need to use TileIconifier.
I made custom tiles in Windows 10 for my Steam games. So aesthetic
