Two quick comments on this: First, you can't change the name of the
Trash and make it stick unless you use ResEdit or a similar resource
editor on the Finder.  Secondly, I edited a 'custom' icon for my
System Disk (System Partition, actually, on a LaCie drive) to use the
same icon as the standard one, but with a 'system' in it (like the
actual System Folder icon) and if anyone wants THIS icon, send me
E-Mail and I'll bin-hex it for them (either as a ResEdit document
(preferred) or as an R-maker document, if necessary...  Neither is a
big deal, but Resedit is easier...  Let me know if you are interested,
and/or do it yourself: Use the shareware DA IconMaker or a similar
program, and using Resedit edit the icon, etc....  You should know
how, or read the Facade documentation.
