S11 V2.5 Vertical not using Small Taskbar setting properly. It appears that the Start button is bigger than other icons when vertically docked. When horizontally docked (top or bottom), the Taskbar is all smaller, including the Start button. But when I moved vertical (nice for my UW screen!) it's about the size of the normal sized Taskbar. It looks like the Start button is causing it. Screenshot at bottom of this post.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, from what I see Custom Start buttons does not size itself the same way taskbar icons.

Here screenshot of vertical taskbar with small and medium taskbar size. The icons change size but the Start button graphics does not. 

Thank you.

I get that, but it works fine horizontally (top or bottom). See these two new shots. Same screen. The vertical one is WAY bigger than the horizontal one. I measure two Taskbar in both orientations, and the vertical is the same size as if you had Taskbar in Start11 set to "Medium" not "Small". The horizontal one does indeed resize the Start button. The app icons measure to the same size between the two orientations, but the Start button and Taskbar do not.

Appreciate if you could post a link to that same Start button you're using so I can try to test it on my system and verify your issue.

Thank you,

Can I DM it to you? I thought I got it off WinCustomize (I think) but I can't find the link anymore. I have the file (Win 11, 6805.png) I can send you, but didn't want to post it publicly because it may have ownership rights. I went through WinCustomize and couldn't find it, so I'm not sure where I got it from.

I tested your Start button, but it look okay on my system. Refer to my short video below.

Would like to suggest to try, uninstall Start11, reboot immediately (important), download latest version available in your account product download page: https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products. Install it, reboot immediately again. Retest it and report back.

Thank you,
