I have been using themes consistently now for well over a year, and changed them all quite a bit, but one of the recent ones I used (can't remember which one) left a trashcan icon stuck there despite which theme I change to. It looks like a pressure cooker with a radioactive symbol (i think - i am at work now, so I can't see it).

Here's the WEIRD thing though- it only shows up when I restart/logout. After I fill the trash and empty it, it reverts to the aqua trashcan and only goes back when I restart/logout.

I have run aquafix a few times, and I use duality 4GT to change themes(but I have used themechanger and duality 3 before).

Current theme - QNX plum.

Try using CandyBar. It's odd that AquaFix didn't correct the problem.. Maybe an email to the creator is in order.

Trash the dock's icon cache (use find to find a file that contains "iconcache" and move it to the trash)

Kill the dock proc. or logout.
