MenuItem.icon
From Opera 15 onward, Opera 11 & 12’s extension format is no longer supported, and instead, we’ve switched to Chromium’s extension model. Check out our new documentation for developing extensions for Opera 15 and higher and start building your own extensions.
Description:
The icon
attribute is a relative URL pointing to an internal image, or an absolute URL pointing to an external image. The allowed image formats are bmp, gif (not animated), ico, jpg, png and webp. For best results, the icon should be square and small — 16 pixels x 16 pixels is ideal.
Syntax:
DOMString contexts
Example:
The following example creates an item with an icon in the context menu to open links in private tabs. In other words, the item will appear only when a link is right-/Ctrl-clicked.
<!--
The configuration file ('config.xml').
-->
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<widget xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets">
...
<feature name="opera:contextmenus"/>
...
</widget>
//
// The background process (e.g. index.html)
//
if (opera.contexts.menu) {
var menu = opera.contexts.menu;
// Create a menu item properties object
var itemProps = {
title: 'Open link in private tab',
contexts: ['link'],
icon: 'images/private.png',
onclick: function(event) {
// Create a tab properties object
var tabProps = {
url: event.linkURL,
private: true
};
// Create a tab with the specified properties
var tab = opera.extension.tabs.create(tabProps);
}
}
// Create a menu item with the specified properties
var item = menu.createItem(itemProps);
// Add the menu item to the context menu
menu.addItem(item);
}

You have dev articles that explain the other two icons but I had to dig to find the context menu icon size.
SVG support would be interesting to see.
