*Example for prepending the i3status output*:
--------------------------------------------------------------
+#!/bin/sh
+# shell script to prepend i3status with more stuff
+
i3status | while :
do
read line
echo "mystuff | $line"
-done | i3bar -d
+done
--------------------------------------------------------------
+Put that in some script, say +.bin/my_i3status.sh+ and execute that instead of i3status.
