Iconview drag item and see a border over dest Gtk+3 Py3.2

Sorry for my poor English...

What I want is that when I drag an item, from one iconview to another, then before I release it I want to see where it will be dropped.
If I hold it over an item when dragging, that item must have a border and if I hold it between two items, I want a line. This is so that I can see where it will be inserted in the ListStore.

The insertion in the liststore have I solved. I just want it to be clear for the user where the item will be dropped.

I think this is default in a gtk2 iconview.

Please point me in the right direction. I have tried with CSS but with no luck.

EDIT:
If you have a solution in C it might help, though I'm not a C programmer.

Here I can find out where to draw a line, above or below the item.

But I don't know how to draw the line and I'm having some trouble with how to get the exact position of the line. It must be under the pisxbuf and the string with it's name.

Can someone show me how to draw the line please?

Code:

  
# day1 is an iconview  
self.day1.connect("drag-motion",self.day1.on_drag_move)

def on_drag_move(self, widget, drag_context, x, y, time):
        position = None
        try:
            path, position = widget.get_dest_item_at_pos(x, y)
            model = widget.get_model()
            selected_iter = model.get_iter(path)
            pixbuf = model.get_value(selected_iter, COLUMN_PIXBUF)
            name = model.get_value(selected_iter, COLUMN_TEXT_NAME)
        except:
            print("no item")

        if position != None:
            print("item at Path: ",path,"position: ", position)
            print(("mouse_pos_X",x ,"mouse_pos_Y", y))

            if (position == Gtk.IconViewDropPosition.DROP_LEFT or position == Gtk.IconViewDropPosition.DROP_ABOVE or position == Gtk.IconViewDropPosition.DROP_INTO):
                print("Pixbuf width", pixbuf.get_width())
                print("position LEFT/ABOVE")

            elif (position == Gtk.IconViewDropPosition.DROP_RIGHT or position == Gtk.IconViewDropPosition.DROP_BELOW):
                print("Pixbuf width", pixbuf.get_width())
                print("position RIGHT/BELOW")
        else:
            print("position = None")
