"user-trash-full-symbolic" is identical to normal symbolic trash icon

[newhoa]

What Happened?

user-trash-full-symbolic is identical to user-trash-symbolic. user-trash-full-symbolic is also in the status folder while all other trash icons are in the places folder.

Steps to Reproduce

status/symbolic/user-trash-full-symbolic.svg:

places/symbolic/user-trash-symbolic.svg:

Expected Behavior

Full trash should look full or look somehow different. Maybe it could be without lid and have trash (what the fullcolor icon looks like), or look pushed out. Maybe it could use the error or warning class to give it color (I'm not so into this one)?

As for location, according to freedesktop.org, status is the correct location for user-trash-full. Personally I think places makes more sense and is easier to find and keeping them together makes more sense. But if following the fd.org spec is that important then they belong in status.

Just some quick simple tests of changing the color (error/warning class), or making it look fuller/fatter:

Looking at this version:

...out of curiosity, was it intentional to make the ridges have more curvature than the sides of the trash can? Realistically, the opposite would be true. Did you perhaps want to make them look like parenthesis? (That's what they look like to me 😅)

As for location, according to freedesktop.org, status is the correct location for user-trash-full.

I don't know how freedesktop.org decisions are made, but couldn't a suggestion be made proposing a change of location for this icon in a later version of the spec?

Maybe something like this, to match with non-symbolic icon.

@waldyrious Lol "parenthesis garbage can" was my least favorite. Adwaita has a similar design to that so thought I'd try it out. They were just quick rough ideas. As for freedesktop.org I don't know how to suggest changes but according to the site it hasn't been updated since 2006 so I don't think any requests like that would happen any time soon or be priority. (I'd really like to see some new names added)

@frachmadin That is the icon elementary-xfce uses (not sure if it originated there though). I'm not a huge fan of it, the lid on the side looks a little globby and to me it's hard to make out as a garbage can. But you're right it is closer to the non-symbolic version and better than the current.

Well, I do think the idea has merit, and in particular I think curved ridges would work better than the straight ones in ; but the curvature would have to be adjusted to be more realistic.
