This plugin provides a widget that enhances the standard recent posts list by adding visual thumbnails and offering greater control over the content displayed. It is designed for site administrators and developers who want to create more engaging sidebar or footer content without custom coding.

• Thumbnail Display: Automatically shows the featured image next to each post title in the list, using the image sizes already generated by the CMS.
• Custom Post Type Support: Pulls the latest entries from any registered post type, not just standard blog posts, making it suitable for portfolios, products, or other content.
• Configurable Output: Includes options to set the number of posts shown, choose whether to display the publication date, and add a custom heading for the widget.
• Extensible Design: Developers can use provided action hooks to insert custom content, like custom field data, before or after each post title in the list.
• Customizable Styling: The widget's appearance can be adjusted using CSS custom properties (variables) to control image dimensions, spacing, and borders directly from a site's stylesheet.
