How to have status bar show size in pixels

In the status bar of Photoshop in the lower left part of the screen, it shows the image size.  I can select "Document size" and it will show the size in bytes.  I can select "Document Dimensions" but it shows the size in inches.  And I can select a bunch of other things that are equally useless to me.  What I want is to show the document dimensions in pixels in the status bar.  How do I do that?  I know I can do that in the info panel but that only gives me the coordinate as I mouse around in it - not the total width and height in pixels.   Can I have it show that in the lower left status bar?

    Set your ruler to pixels. It will display whatever your ruler is set to.

    Thanks! If I right click on the ruler and select pixels, and also select "Document dimensions" from the status bar, then the size will be in pixels.

    Yes, that is correct.
