Description
## Problem
I want to specifically see what I'm dragging an item in to, which is virtually impossible to tell as folders at their smallest size don't look like they react much - especially for people with worse sight. It's also potentially problematic that most parts of the UI can have items dropped on to them, causing the cursor's icon to always either be move or link mode.
## Proposal
Add a faint accent coloured caret around the inside of whichever box is to recieve the drop i.e a folder in list mode gets an outline when dragged over.
I think this could potentially even be made HIG, as it isn't just an accessibility feature when so many people don't have perfect eyesight
