Tsarbar.

Tsarbar is a simple status bar for Xorg that I made with a friend. It's configured through a command line utility called tsarc.

Example for a simple clock:

$ tsarc set clock -text "`date`"
$ tsarc layout -left clock

You can replace clock with anything and set the text to whatever. Tsarbar doesn't care. All that needs to happen for the component to display is that 1. It has text, and 2. It's in the bar layout.

You can see an example of how it could look at the top of this screenshot:
