Thanks for your reply. I have created a desktop file to show the trash icon on desktop. I mean that is the way I found it should be done. I need to check /home/user/.local/Trash/files/. If a file exists in it, the icon will change to a full trash icon, otherwise it should be changed again to an empty trash icon.
I have (till now) made a script with a while (true) loop that runs in the background. This way I have eliminated cron. Is there another way to do it please?
