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
})
