Recycle-bin Icons not refreshing

Was hoping to replace the recycle-bin icons with more attractive ones but am having trouble with the results.

Scenario:
Proceeded to go to - SETTINGS> PERSONALIZATION> THEMES> DESKTOP ICON SETTINGS>
I changed both the EMPTY and FULL icons.

Success.

Now deleting something does not immediately change the icon to FULL state.
When I press F5 the icon refreshes.
NOTE: all worked well prior to changing the icons

Doesn't matter where I place the icons, nor if I restart the computer!

W H A T !!!!

how do I fix this?

Change back? Not all replacement icons are animated in the way that the recycle bin is. It actually has a small program behind it.

You can't be serious! An animated .ico file?

Windows lets you change them and doesn't specify that they have to be "annimated .ico" !
