How to customize i3 status

1 - First let’s make a backup of our original i3 status config

1
cp /etc/i3status.conf ~/.config/i3/i3status.conf

2 - Edit i3status.conf

I gonna use NVIM to edit the config, you can use whatever editor you want

1
sudo nvim /etc/i3status.conf

3 - Inside of config file

Well now you do whatever you wanna do. What I like to do is to remove some info from i3status (I just comment it out)

#order += "wireless _first_"
#order += "ethernet _first_"
order += "battery all"
#order += "disk /"
#order += "load"
order += "memory"
order += "tztime local"

4 - Save the changes and restart i3
