I wonder if we could play with other effects to make the full state look more obvious at a glance.

One of my previous ideas was to use a black/dark gray tied up trash bag instead of loose trash, but I don't think that's any easier to recognize and it has contrast issues with Breeze Dark. https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/txuUjBoRPkxqnbEtvqrPNIjL https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/NPVeEfWHbOUXdfwArTclJCiM I just realized that the full icon is used when the trash has anything in it and not when it's full.
