I downloaded CPO Widgets to use your recent posts widget and it almost did the job. I was wanting a plugin that elegantly displayed the recent posts with an image and the post title in the sidebar. Yours did this but it also added the date, which I can't have. I scoured through my admin panel looking for the settings page you talk about on your installation page. There is no settings page, anywhere. All this plugin needs is a way to customize it and it would be a 5 star plugin!
