"Trash" is one of the main elements of the "Desktop", it, like any other element, has its own icon. If you are tired of the standard icon, you can change the view of the "Trash" at any time. There are several ways to do this.
Instructions
Step 1
If you need to change the appearance of all icons on the "Desktop", including the "Recycle Bin", and so that all icons are made in the same style, change the theme of the "Desktop". To do this, right-click in any part of the "Desktop" free of files and folders and select "Properties" from the drop-down menu. A new "Display Properties" dialog box will open. It can be called in another way: through the "Start" menu, enter the "Control Panel", in the "Appearance and Themes" category, click on the "Screen" icon or select the "Change the theme" task.
Step 2
In the window that opens, go to the "Themes" tab. Use the drop-down list to select a new skin for your "Desktop" in the "Theme" section. In the lower part of the window (section "Sample") you can see what the new design will be and what kind of appearance the "Basket" will have. If you want to install a theme that is not in the list (for example, downloaded from the Internet), select the "Browse" item and specify the path to the required file with the. Theme extension in the dialog box that opens. Click on the "Apply" button and close the properties window by clicking on the OK button or the X icon in the upper right corner of the window.
Step 3
To change the appearance of only the "Recycle Bin", leaving the other icons the same, open the "Properties: Display" dialog box in the manner described in the first step. Open the "Desktop" tab and click on the "Customize Desktop" button at the bottom of the window. An additional "Desktop Elements" dialog box opens. Trash has two icons: Trash (full) and Trash (empty) - change both. To do this, select the desired icon with the left mouse button and click on the "Change icon" button. In the window that opens, specify the directory where the icon you need is stored, and click the OK button. Close the "Desktop Elements" window with the OK button, in the properties window click on the "Apply" button. Close the properties window in a way convenient for you.
