Concept art of the request.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #495047 +++

I'm requesting that when "Create New" from the Context Menu is selected, the area which a file/folder would be created becomes highlighted.

In addition of highlighting the area where items are going to get created, I'd also want for it to be a highlight for items being moved not only within the desktop area, but also from Dolphin into the desktop area.

This would be very useful for small resolutions, scaling and icon sizes.

That being the *possible placement areas within the grid* where the item is hovering over, not the item itself like it currently is.

Ubuntu.

I'm asking for this highlight thing that Ubuntu has.
