    One Of My Famous "Stupid Questions" [Solved]

    OK. Is there a way to have the "Trash Can" on the Desk Top where the Full/Empty works as intended? I tried a "link" but that just showed a Full Trash Can all the time. I would also like to be able to change the icons for Full and Empty as well.

      I don't understand Moon -- are you saying your icon doesn't change when you empty it?

        It does down in the panel. I don't really like my Trash Can in the panel. I would like it on the DT, but when I created a link to it, the Icon it uses for "trash:/" is always the "Full" icon. Basically it appears to be just that, a link and not an "interactive" type link. Did I do better explaining

        Found this. I'll give it a try:

          Bummer . Looked good, causes Karamba to crash and close.

            I've switched to no trash logo at all. I just periodically go to trash:/ and empty it. Just a thought.

              It should already be there, only hidden...to unhide, edit ~/Desktop/trash.desktop (with a text editor), change
              NoDisplay=true
              to
              NoDisplay=false

              If you don't have trash.desktop (for some reason) you can create it (with a text editor)
              [Desktop Entry]
              Comment=Contains removed files
              EmptyIcon=trashcan_empty
              Encoding=UTF-8
              Icon=trashcan_full
              Name=Trash
              NoDisplay=false
              OnlyShowIn=KDE
              Type=Link
              URL=trash:/

                Thanks! kubicle.

                Had to create the file, but that worked great!!!!
                Even was able to incorporate my own Trash Can icons!
                That was easy, better than the Karamba gidget that didn't work anyway!

                  Thanks again. This little bit actually helped me on another issue. Trying to get KSmoothDock to autoload and log on. Went through the system settings to place it in but on log in I got a "Type=" error. Because you wrote this earlier, I knew EXACTLY what it was looking for!! Thanks!!!
