I have installed powerline in tmux via
powerline-config tmux setup
It looks great, but I've looked through the docs and I don't see defined what means what. Most of it is obvious, but there are three numbers here that I don't understand.
Can anybody clarify? Also, how might I customise it? (I tried to read the friendly manual but...here I am)

You can check the default
tmuxtheme inpowerline. The first represents the system uptime and the second represents the system load.You can customize themes by copying the config files to
$HOME/.config/powerlineand then editing the entries. You can read more here.
