  I agree that it's harder to recognize than before.

  I don't want to make the trash can get fat because I think that's ugly, unrealistic and harder to do.
  
  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.

  I just realized that the full icon is used when the trash has anything in it and not when it's full. Is this intentional?
