Adjust i3 colors, update KBDs, remove icons from i3statusbar

May need to find a better KBD for `snip_it`, since I really enjoy Tmux's M-s to
switch sessions.

Learned about i3's "edge" concept. Re-supported KBDs for settings split
directions. Also adjusted theme colors.

Also adjusts the formatting of the timezone information to show GMT as LON, EST
as NYC, and Pacific as MTV.
