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.

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.

Vimtex not loading (vim-plug)
Did you really install VimTeX? Did you run :PlugInstall? Ensure you installed and set up vim-plug correctly (https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug). If VimTeX is installed, it should be installed to '~/.vim/plugged', thus you can open a terminal, then cd ~/.vim/plugged/vimtex and you should find the files there.

Vundle.vim does not exist anymore
Not sure if Vundle did anything particularly fancy, but I'm using vim-plug [0] and have no complaints. It stays out of my way to the point that I had to look at my .vimrc just now to make sure that's what I was using.
