I use 4.1 on my main machine so I didn't notice this before, but the trash icon on the desktop for the default theme for Trisquel 5.0 isn't the same. It seems to be a generic trash icon that I have noticed on other operating systems.

For 5.5 and above, can you bring back the sexy trash icon from 4? If it is a licensing issue or whatever, I can understand. Otherwise, bring it back no matter if you have to hack its way in. :-)

P.S. I tried the 5.0 theme with MATE the other day and it isn't half bad. It probably needs some theme specific hacks here and there, but it came close. Something to consider with 5.5 and above.

Hi,
can you post a screen shot for this icon, I don't want to install 4 just to see why the trash icon is so special... :)

A simple guide for everyone who is like me and likes the trash icon from 4 better (and enough so to care about it): Boot from the live cd of 4.0, copy the icon (it's under /usr/share/icons/elementary/places/64, also /48, /24, /22, /16), and put it back into the default theme.

There are lots of icons, which are actually links to one .svg file that is usually located inside the same folder. I guess copying them all and overwriting the modern icon-files will bring the 4.0 look back.
