So you want an invisible widget/rb when the rb is empty..?? I think it's possible but is a little weird and not usable, don't you think?

making transparency to low is also another option,
this way you don't lose the position of your widget

Now that I'm thinking is more simple that it seems and no need a script..
When you create the two RB images (empty/full), edit the empty image with any image editor program like GiMP and reduce the opacity to 5%. Then create a normal rb widget!
If you don't know how, send me the two images/state you want to use and I will do it for you..
RB widgets are easy and fast to create.

you can also use pnganimate object for it,
it will be cleared when it linked to a file that not exist

so you only have to do these:
1. in the recyclebincore, use your full image for full state
2. in the recyclebincore, in the place for empty state set a filename that doesn't exist
3. add a pnganimate object
4. bind it to recyclebincore and add %Icon tag to binding format


=========
but jimking's way is a better way,
since it's the original way to do that, and you will have no problem in the future,
so have mine as a temporary way

Thanks both of you. But i was thinking to make the "Hulk" widget by qiancang appear when my recycle bin is not empty.

Pretty cool haanh..

this is the link to quincang's widget:

In this case I don't know which way is better and IF this can be done and combine the recyclebin core functions with the script that the widget uses..
I don't know if @hamid can help you but in this case I can't..
Also I don't know if qiancang will be happy seeing a "copy" of his widget.. Yes it will be a RB (if can be done) but the base function and style is the same widget!

This is part of code i use to change an image of a shortcut to the recycle bin, if the bin if empty or not empty, could be modified to what you want.

function recyclebincore1OnUpdate(Sender) // change recycle bin Icon

if (eval("shortcutcore" + i).path == "recyclebin" && recyclebincore1.items == 0) // if shortcut is to the recycle bin and the bin is empty
{
eval("shortcutcore" + i).cmd(null, "!SetIcon=recycleMT.png" );
}
if (eval("shortcutcore" + i).path == "recyclebin" && recyclebincore1.items > 0) // if shortcut is to the recycle bin and the bin is not empty
{
eval("shortcutcore" + i).cmd(null, "!SetIcon=recycleNMT.png" );
}
