>From what I take it, I need to create a wibox.layout, define custom margins and stick my widget in it?
I'm new to lua and awesome so I'm again lost at what to do... I did give it my best shot though: local membar_wibar = wibox.layout.flex.horizontal() wibox.layout.margin.set_margins(membar_wibar, 5) membar_wibar:add(memwidget) ... local layout = wibox.layout.align.horizontal() layout:set_right(membar_wibar) mywibox[s]:set_widget(layout) I see my widget, but the margins don't seem to take effect. Also, where would I put the new line of code for the gradient colors? I don't know what I'm supposed to call anyone. I appreciate all the help.

At 0,0, the gradient will be red and at 10, 0 it is green.
