Highlight custom widgets in the admin area?
I have created some custom widgets for my client to use, but I want to make them stand out amidst the fifteen or so standard widgets in the admin area. How can I do this?

Getting post-thumbnails from another WP site
I have two WordPress installations, one at http://inversekarma.in and the other at http://inversekarma.in/photos. The latter is a photoblog, and its theme uses the standard WP post thumbnails (EDIT: featured images, to be precise!). Is there a way to show the most recent thumbnails from the second site on my first site’s sidebar?
Get number of widgets in sidebar
How can I get the number of widgets that are active on a specific sidebar? Is there a core function for this?
Add class to before_widget for all widgets with a dropdown and a counter
Some predefined widgets offer the option to use a select element (dropdown) and/or a counter after each entry. How can I add the CSS classes widget-with-dropdown or widget-with-counters to these widgets?
Post X of Y in single.php / sidebar.php
Is there a way of putting “Post X of Y” into my sidebar? I think I can only show it when it is a single blog post (something like checking if the content is_single) but I want to be able to see which post I am viewing. Googling “wordpress post x of y” for the last 20 minutes has given me a lot about category x in page y or something similar, so I thought to ask here.
Limit widget to certain sidebar?
I have multiple “sidebars”, but not all of them are the same size. Not all widgets fit in all sidebars (for example, I have a “footer sidebar” where the client can place custom widgets, but they are wide, and don’t fit at all in the “real” sidebar). I want to give an indication when a widget is placed in a sidebar where it would not belong (change the header text color, for example). What would be the best way to do this?
Call sidebar from a template
I need to call a sidebar into my header. I’ve switched to the new twenty twelve theme and created my own child theme. With this new theme I decided to keep things organised and together, so I put my widgets functions, stylesheet and two new sidebar templates (one for header and one for footer widgets) in one folder called pgwidgets.
Translate widget titles using qTranslate plugin
I’m actually using the qTranslate plugin to translate my website. It works really well with everything except one thing. the titles of my sidebar widgets.
Give Editor Access To Sidebar
I want to give the Editor Role access to editing the sidebar and it’s contents. I have a text widget in there and in order to edit this text widget the user needs to be an admin – this sucks. How do I grant permission to the Editor Role that will give him access to edit the sidebar?
Including Custom Post Types in “Recent Posts” Widget
I’m able to easily include my custom post types into my main loop by making small adjustments with query_posts(), but I’m not sure how I would go about including custom post types in the “Recent Posts” sidebar widget (or any of the other widgets, for that matter).
