Display the Time, User, Hostname, & Session

I'm not sure if this would fit in with the minimalism, but I think it might be cool to implement a clock. I would do it myself, but I don't know C well enough to implement this feature.

I've thought about something like this, especially some static text like <user>@<hostname>: <session>.

I get hung up on the endless configuration options though: toggle for hiding it, different colors for each element, custom template string(e.g., if you only want to show the user or change the @ or :), separate font type & styles, position in the main window, alignment, etc...

Curious if others would want something like this as well and what sort of configuration is desired.

a simple text to show clock would be nice!

bd96d1d800e2e025d23755a7d5e2ae770653f8bf added a show-sys-info config option that renders the user, hostname, & current time. Light customization is supported - font, size, spacing, & color. Opened #78 for feedback on other customizations.
