Description

Would be nice if there would be options to do things like:

  1. Move the clock to the left (if core name is disabled)
  2. Show the wifi icon next to the battery
  3. Show the name of the game being played as an alternative to showing the core name

Research direction

Start by locating RetroArch’s status bar implementation and the existing settings that control the clock and core name. Review how status bar elements are rendered, then verify that the requested clock placement, Wi-Fi icon placement, and game-name alternative can each be selected and work in the relevant frontend builds.
