You can add mycode editor icons there and add an option to the bot that he can show if new posts or new threads created will push a msg in chatbox

And

Can it sync with post that every msg will work like a post in a dedicated forum chosen by admin
Like live forum or live thread...

1. That is out of my scope as the design is meant to be minimal and slim. (HTML /CSS/JS related stuff can be edited and included by users themself as everything is modular and included via templates).

2. There is already a bot watching action, you can set which forums should be watched and you can change the way how bot responds into chat in rt_chat.lang.php language file.
