Maybe put a black trashbag on the ground on front of it? And add banana peels and buzzing flies! Make it really obvious that someone needs to take out the trash. :) > > > I just realized that the full icon is used when the trash has anything in it and not when it's full.

Hm, if that's intended behavior, then I don't think it should be really obvious that the trash needs to be taken out, otherwise it'll just be a constant annoyance. Or worse, it could put some users in the habit of doing [⇧] + [Delete] to bypass the trash (I used to do this until I regretted it).
