[etc/awesome.git] / Widgets.md
1 Every widget is output by a `function`.
2
3 For some widgets, `function` returns a `wibox.widget.textbox`, for others a table to be used for notification and update purposes.
4
5 Every widget may take either a table or a list of variables as argument.
6
7 If it takes a table, you have to define a function variable called `settings` in it, in order to make your customizations.
8
9 To markup the textbox, call `widget:set_markup(...)` within `settings`.
10
11 You can feed `set_markup` with predefined arguments, see the sections for all the details.
12
13 `widget` is a textbox, so you can threat it like any other `wibox.widget.textbox`.
14
15 Here follows an example: 
16
17     mycpu = lain.widgets.cpu({
18         timeout = 4,
19         settings = function()
20             widget:set_markup("Cpu " .. usage)
21         end
22     })
