Change space between start button and pinned apps (Windows 8)

[Bizkit]

Hi, I'm using StartIsBack 2.1.1 in Windows 8 Pro x64 and I have made a custom start button that looks exactly to the Windows 8.1 one. The problem is the space left over between the start button and pinned apps, which is 8 pixels more than in Windows 8.1.

Here is the comparison:

And this is the custom button:

Notice that 4 of those 8 pixels left over are from the button template right side. However, I can't delete those 4 pixels because the PNG/BMP file should be 54x162 pixels and if I resize it the program will complain that it is not a valid image.

Is there a way to reduce this space?

Make image 50x150.

Fantastic, thanks! Didn't know that was possible to resize that way, my bad. Now it looks like this:

Is it possible to reduce also that space?
