General usage
-------------
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
})
