Custom Start11 icon too close to the beginning of the screen when alignment is left on Windows 11

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. I believe that is depend on how the start buttons was designed. Some start buttons come with a large transparent region, while some only have one or two pixels transparent edge. Not sure how large that default Microsoft Startbutton for Windows 11.

Thanks

A custom Start Menu Button is a PNG file that contains the normal view, hover view, and open view. They are typically x pixels wide by y pixels tall. If you want a specific custom Start Menu button to be farther in from the left edge, you will need to open the Start Menu button PNG file and edit the width of the canvas. You can accomplish this Windows Paint 3D or another image editor. Just make sure you only resize the canvas and not the image. See example below.

Consider the black area the canvas.

Hope this helps.

Many thanks!
