I've modified the illustro Recycle Bin skin as an example. I also worked out a method for having DropIt automatically positioned correctly over top of the skin. There is some delay to the auto-positioning but it's probably the best we can accomplish. It shouldn't be much of an issue since most of us probably don't move our skins around often.
This skin uses a beta version of DropIt that the dev provided to me to test the Refresh procedure that I requested so that auto-positioning with Rainmeter could work. If you wish to wait for a release version it should be out soon.
Download illustro Recycle Bin Plus (It will install on top of your current illustro Recycle Bin.)
DropIt will be positioned on the upper portion of the skin to the left of the "Recycle Bin" label. I've included two DropIt profiles in this skin, one which sends dropped items to the Recycle Bin, the other Erases the files so that they are unrecoverable. You can switch profiles by clicking on DropIt and scrolling your mouse wheel. There is a visual difference between the two profiles, Recycle is just slightly darker than the rest of the illustro skin, while Shred is much darker.
DropIt is under active development and the dev has already added features that I have requested to allow for the auto-positioning. If you folks have any ideas for the program let me know and I will pass them along.
