Version 3

    And correction to topic. to highlight only when acceptable drag hovers the drop zone.

     

    The feature is missed out of the box but I created simple sample of how that could be done. Just modified rf-demo page to:

    <ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
    <style>
    .panelc {
    width: 25%;
    vertical-align: top;
    }
    .dropTargetPanel,.dropTargetPanel3 {
    width: 90%;
    }
    .footerClass {
    text-align: center;
    padding-top: 5px;
    }
    .green {
    border: 3px solid green;
    }
    </style>
    <rich:dragIndicator id="indicator" />

    NOTE: the third drop zone getting highlighted when there is acceptable drop. Other remained unmodified as it was in original example.
