lain/Widgets.md

Every widget is output by a `function`.

For some widgets, `function` returns a `wibox.widget.textbox`, for others a table to be used for notification and update purposes.

Every widget may take either a table or a list of variables as argument.

If it takes a table, you have to define a function variable called `settings` in it, in order to make your customizations.

To markup the textbox, call `widget:set_markup(...)` within `settings`.

You can feed `set_markup` with predefined arguments, see the sections for all the details.

`widget` is a textbox, so you can threat it like any other `wibox.widget.textbox`.

Here follows an example: 

    mycpu = lain.widgets.cpu({
        timeout = 4,
        settings = function()
            widget:set_markup("Cpu " .. cpu_now.usage)
        end
    })
