It may be called the recycling bin on Windows, but on Ubuntu it is called Trash, and thus on Ubuntu I have changed the icon. As in most things, Windows is wrong here, and it sounds stupid. Hey, let me recycle my files! Well, where am I reusing them?

Recycling is for materials that can be repurposed for new stuff, a paradigm that does not fit here.

However, I may heed your advice and not change the icon on my Windows install (when I get back to it, it's at home and right now I'm in school.) Clearly it fits in there with all the other Windows "quirks". I hadn't thought of that, to be honest.



Live and learn, indeed!!
I guess I don't give that much thought to icons. Long as I know what they do, they are ok with me. Apple IIRC always had a trashcan icon too. And wasn't trying to advise you, just curious. You should do exactly as you want to with your icons.
