How can I modify i3status?
Another tool you can consider is i3blocks, which really is just a light layer on top of the default i3bar but uses a more readable config format.
-
Screenshot i3 Block Button: an easy way to take screenshots with a single click. The captured screenshot is automatically copied to the clipboard and can also be saved in a file by clicking on a notification.
But there is one issue background must wait for dunstify notifcation to finish (explained here in different context https://github.com/vivien/i3blocks/issues/354). This mean I can't take another screenshot until I dismiss/click this notification.

Event listening statusbar
You can use the default swaybar with i3blocks as the status_command. i3blocks can receive signals.
-
swaybar : i3blocks's block always turn into "]" character after clicked, turn normal when sway is reloaded.

I made (yet another) status bar generator - yablocks
You can think of yablocks as somewhere in between writing your own status generator manually using the i3bar json protocol and using i3blocks. You'll be generating the JSON output yourself, but with help from a fully featured templating engine and structured data.

which status bar will let me customize it easily and let me write shell scripts for it?
I use i3blocks and write all the scripts myself, these examples can be a good starting point.

Configuration of i3wm!!
If you want icons and clickable items on the bar you need to use something like https://github.com/greshake/i3status-rust

i3blocks - cannot get custom block to work at all
https://github.com/greshake/i3status-rust/tree/master/examples is about twice as good. The way i3blocks handles clicks is quite frankly kind of crap.

Unable to set icons in i3status-rust - unknown field 'icons'
I assume you have installed latest stable version which is 0.22. The relavant config is https://github.com/greshake/i3status-rust/blob/v0.22.0/examples/config.toml

I wrote an x11 tiling window manager inspired by DWM that I've been using for a few months now. If you're using x11 and want to try out a new tiling window manager I'd love your feedback!
Yeah, much better than the default i3status, it is well documented, you can check its screenshots and documents for more into. https://github.com/greshake/i3status-rust/blob/master/doc/themes.md

I really love Colemak, but I sadly rolled back to QWERTY because...
Setup is a Clevo laptop with an eGPU and 3 external monitors, running i3wm with i3status-rust. Keyboard is an Ergodone (chinese knockoff of ZSA's Ergodox EZ) with MX Browns and caps are a white and green set from AliExpress, that was basically the only DSA blank set for this keyboard I could find that would also have homing notches.
