Hi, Peter ( @pbaumgartner ).
Thanks for getting in touch and for your interest in using Better Recent Comments.
I’m afraid what you would like to achieve is beyond what the plugin is designed to do, and you are correct that you can implement this via custom CSS.
If you don’t have a developer who can do this for you, then I recommend that you post a job on Codeable where their pre-approved WordPress experts will send you a quote. We have partnered with them to provide plugin customization for our customers.
Codeable have several developers who are experienced in customizing our plugins – to request a quote from them, select Domagoj Kovacevic, Domenico Nusca, Krasen Slavov, Onur Demir, Liam Bailey, Nitin Yawalkar and Felipe Elia as your preferred experts.
I hope this makes sense and helps point you in the right direction. Should you have any other questions, please let me know. I will mark this as resolved for now.
Best regards,
