In need of a custom widget or code

[beerForo]

I do not like the available Media Comments widget, I would rather it work exactly like the page does:

New media comments

xenforo.com

So I would put this widget in What's New under new posts and the layout is simply exactly the the way the page works, thread-style with read status etc., but in the widget we could choose the max number.

I don't know if I can just grab the code from the page and use it in a custom widget... any help appreciated, thanks!
