 ![Example of the custom ram module](../../assets/ram-example.webp)
 
-To use the status module formatting that catppuccin uses, do the following:
+To use the status module formatting that catppuccin uses, create a directory that contains the custom status modules.  Then point `@catppuccin_user_status_directory` at that directory:
 
 ```sh
-# In ~/.tmux.conf, after the catppuccin plugin has been loaded.
+# In ~/.tmux.conf, before loading the catppuccin plugin
+set -gF @catppuccin_user_status_directory   "~/.config/tmux/custom"
+
+# Apply your custom module in status-right
+set -g status-right "#{E:@catpuccin_status_application}#{E:@catppuccin_status_my_custom_module}"
+```
+
+Then in the `~/.config/tmux/custom` directory, you can create custom status modules (which must have `.conf` file extension) like this:
+
+```sh
+# my_custom.conf
 
 %hidden MODULE_NAME="my_custom_module"
 
-set -ogq "@catppuccin_${MODULE_NAME}_icon" " "
+set -ogq  "@catppuccin_${MODULE_NAME}_icon"  " "
 set -ogqF "@catppuccin_${MODULE_NAME}_color" "#{E:@thm_pink}"
-set -ogq "@catppuccin_${MODULE_NAME}_text" "#{pane_current_command}"
+set -ogq  "@catppuccin_${MODULE_NAME}_text"  "#{pane_current_command}"
 
-source "<path to catppuccin plugin>/utils/status_module.conf"
+source -F "#{@catppuccin_tmux_directory}/utils/status_module.conf"
 
-set -g status-right "#{E:@catpuccin_status_application}#{E:@catppuccin_status_my_custom_module}"
+```
+
+More than one custom status module can be defined.  A practical use-case is to have both CPU and RAM usage such as:
+```sh
+# In ~/.tmux.conf, before loading the catppuccin plugin
+set -gF @catppuccin_user_status_directory   "~/.config/tmux/custom"
+
+# Apply your custom module in status-right
+set -g status-right "#{E:@catpuccin_status_application}#{E:@catppuccin_status_cpu}#{E:@catppuccin_status_ram}"
+```
+
+Then create `~/.config/tmux/custom/ram.conf`:
+
+```sh
+%hidden MODULE_NAME="ram"
+
+set -ogq @ram_low_fg_color    "#{E:@thm_fg}"
+set -ogq @ram_medium_fg_color "#{E:@thm_fg}"
+set -ogq @ram_high_fg_color   "#{E:@thm_crust}"
+
+set -ogq @ram_low_bg_color    "#{E:@catppuccin_status_module_text_bg}"
+set -ogq @ram_medium_bg_color "#{E:@catppuccin_status_module_text_bg}"
+set -ogq @ram_high_bg_color   "#{E:@thm_red}"
+
+set -ogq  "@catppuccin_${MODULE_NAME}_icon"           "#{l:#{ram_icon}} "
+set -ogqF "@catppuccin_${MODULE_NAME}_color"          "#{E:@thm_blue}"
+set -ogq  "@catppuccin_status_${MODULE_NAME}_text_fg" "#{l:#{ram_fg_color}}"
+set -ogq  "@catppuccin_status_${MODULE_NAME}_text_bg" "#{l:#{ram_bg_color}}"
+set -ogq  "@catppuccin_${MODULE_NAME}_text"           " #{l:#{ram_percentage}}"
+
+source -F "#{@catppuccin_tmux_directory}/utils/status_module.conf"
