i3status not displaying ANYTHING on i3bar

After installing i3, I decided that I should try and configure i3status and i3bar to display a 12 hour clock, so I read the user guide and i3status manpage and followed all of the directions. To my surprise, all I did was in vain because for some reason i3bar wouldn't display anything at all.

For reference here are links to my i3 configuration files:

  • ~/.i3/config - pastebin.com/raw.php?i=zpC0eVr6
  • ~/.i3status.conf - pastebin.com/raw.php?i=efrqBA1H

I've just checked your config. It works fine. I use version 4.6. Is there any output if you just run `i3status --config ~/.i3status.conf` from shell?

Okay, I realized what the problem was! I didn't have i3status installed. I thought it was part of the base package. After I installed it was working. Thanks!
