Here is a finished version of the panel widgets mod. I took out the ExtendedInfo content because it loads too slowly in the classic widgets making the home screen laggy. This content still doesn't refresh correctly, anyways. And it also makes it much easier to mod what is there.
I hope you didn't get too far in modifying the other file because I changed a lot of code to get the final panels to display correctly. As I was told by BigNoid, the original design wasn't meant for multiple widget choices, so this is a bit of a shoehorn design. The only place where this is evident is in the display of episodes. The appearance of the episode thumb and labels can vary widely based on the type of widget (Recent, Recommended or Video Playlist). Sometimes it's a poster, sometimes it's a thumb.
Don't worry about changing my design. You can butcher and do anything you want. As far as I'm concerned, there is no intellectual property here.
The toggle button is in the SkinSettings (at Line 237).
The rest is in IncludesHomeRecentlyAdded.xml. Nothing else has to be modified.
I don't really want to participate in redesigning anything, but if you need help (with the tricky visibility conditions, for example), I can assist. If you want to add the ExtendedInfo panels, I'd have to redo the visibility conditions.

I'd like to include your extendedinfo mods... Out of curiosity did you try the <content>plugin:// methods as they might update more frequently? Haven't tested though, just a thought...
