Start Button is missing left margin when "Use a custom start button image" is enabled

Following up this post with individual ones for the issues that remain as instructed. This is for #5.

System

Windows 11 24H2 (26100.3775) Pro
Start11 v2.52.3
2 Monitors
- Primary (1): 3840 x 1600 (On right)
- Secondary (2): 3840 x 2160 (On left)
RTX 5080 GPU
Enhanced Taskbar
Taskbar on top
Taskbar (Start11) Auto-hide
Start Menu left aligned
Custom Start Button

Very straight forward issue:

When a custom start button image is used, 7px (at least at 100% scaling) of margin are missing from the left side of the button compared to the stock button, causing the button itself to be too far to the left, as well as all other icons on the taskbar. As shown in the image, adding 7px of margin results in the correct positioning for the button and other icons.

Not sure if this also is dependent on using the Enhanced Taskbar, but I am using that.

The Start Button is a PNG image with a transparent background. Depending on the width of the image, the position on the taskbar can change. Not all custom Start Buttons are the same width, so the position can vary from button to button. Try some other Start Buttons and see what results you get.

The Start Button you are using has three different sizes. Default; DefaultMedium; and DefaultLarge. Try these different sizes and see how they line up on your taskbar.

I wasn't actually using that one, it was just for demonstration purposes... yet, yea, I completely missed it had size variants hahaha. Can't believe I missed that, and thus I totally missed that the dimension actually affected the positioning and the image simply wasn't resized to a fixed area.

It took some trial and error to get the spot just right and avoid stretching, but I ended up with an icon that was just right in terms of positioning and size (with the goal of matching the standard one).

57 x 120 seemed to be the magic size.

Thanks for making me aware of this!
