Please add POST TYPEs, like this

hello.
1) It now gets only “post” type posts…
please, add ability for custom posts..
here is solution:

in plugins.php file, after the line
$args['posts_per_page'] = $instance['count'];
add this:
$args['post_type'] = array_merge(get_post_types(array('_builtin'=>true)),get_post_types(array('_builtin'=>false)));

[or give us an input in widget options to choose post types, separated by comma]

2) also, please add some customization options in Widget settings… for example,
a) remove all images from post while displaying them in sidebar (because in widgets, the post attachments are shown too…)
b)the sorting of visual elements: first I want titles to be displayed, not the featured image…

thanks
