This program extends the visual feedback from the recycle bin. Instead of just having 'empty' and 'full', you can now tell when it's getting too full and smelly, too - just like a real recycling bin!


Click this button to select a new icon library to use for the trash images. See "Create your own trash" for more information.


Hints and Tips

•	To make your recycle bin have flies around it all the time, but only start spilling over when it gets full, do the following steps:

Check "proportional"

Check "Only appear after the recycle bin contains..."

Set the number of megabytes to start overflowing at.

•	Don't overdo the number of flies or the amount of trash: it'll work with really high values, but really slowly, and may impede system performance.

•	Create a shortcut in the start menu's "startup" folder to make the program run automatically when Windows is started.
