Skin Start Button not appearing while Start11 is running

Hello, I'm a new user of both Windows Blinds and Start11. Both programs run perfectly well however I'm having a weird issue where when Start 11 is running, the custom start button applied by the skin i have in Windows Blinds either becomes invisible (can still be clicked in the spot it would be), or i have to set it to use the OS Start Button, at which point i can set a custom start button image through Start 11, however that's kind of a hassle as I'd like for it to just use the one that comes with the skin instead of finding one that matches and setting it up in Start 11.
Is there a setting I'm missing here?
