Adding different color made that much difference to the popularity? O.....K
If anybody wants any more colors let me know. I can also do patterns, on request.
+ How...
I installed them in KDE, in Mandriva, this way:
1. Open the "KDE control center", and see in icons what set of icons do you use,
(in my case "Crystal SVG", which I will use as an example).
2. Go to "/usr/share/icons" as root and copy "crystalsvg" folder into the desktop,
and rename it to "crystalsvg2".
3. Also edit the "index.theme" file inside that folder (change "Name=Crystal SVG" to "Name=Crystal SVG2")
4. Replace the trash icons with the new ones, but keep the old names ("trashcan_empty.png", etc)
5. Copy "crystalsvg2" back to "/usr/share/icons".
6. Close and reopen "KDE control center", and, to my surprise, "Crystal SVG2" might be there!
+ feedback:
the following sizes are needed
16x16, 22x22, 32x32,
and a scalable ".svgz" file
+ request:
versions with different colours.
(a plastic blue basket would match with the rest of the crystal icons)
I can't believe I totally missed this the first time.
No svgz file is available, these were constructed as 3d models in blender. Not in a vector illustrating program.
I decided not to provide additional resolutions. There are a few different styles now, and I wanted to keep the download size small.
Thank you for the feedback.:)
That depends on you distro. Find your icons folder, open your theme folder, and replace the existing trash icon with this one.
in kubuntu 6.01 it's /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde-profile/default/share/icons
or
/opt/kde/share/icons
or
/usr/share/icons
You get the idea.

Thank you. It's the positive feedback that makes me want to continue making icons.:) Constructive negative feedback is also welcome.

You could open it with the gimp and use the layers/colors/colorize dialog to do that. If you really want me to I will add a few different colors.
