Also how about letting the user decide the what to show?

Using a config format something like this will be great:
date(dd:MM:yy, hh:mm:ss) command(my_custom_command.sh, 5/*refresh delay*/)

Hi guys,

I'm going to make a patch for i3lock that would let it display some
additional information on the lock screen (such as current time, lock
time, and number of failed login attempts).
+1 for current time ;)
Would anyone else be
interested in this and should I submit this patch to cr.i3wm.org (I'm
afraid this might be contradict the "lightweight & simple" approach of
i3*)? Also, if anyone in interested in this functionality, how much
customization do you expect?
hmm, strftime date time format should be possible at least ;)
