local membar_wibar = wibox.layout.flex.horizontal()
membar_wibar:add(memwidget)
...
local layout = wibox.layout.align.horizontal()
local margin = wibox.layout.margin()
margin:set_margins(5)
margin:set_widget(member_wibar)
layout:set_right(margin)
mywibox[s]:set_widget(layout)
There is no old "magic table" where one can define margins. Instead, margins are
now a real layout class from which you create an instance etc.

Uhm, I'm not sure where you are using this. The gradient color stuff was
previously just available on graphs, right?
Anyway, I guess you want set_color().
local p = awful.widget.progressbar()
p:set_color({ type = "linear", from = { 0, 0 }, to = { 10, 0 },
stops = { { 0, "#ff" }, { 1, "#00ff00" } } })

I'm new to mailing lists so I don't think my last reply (the following
message) got through. Here's me reposting it.
>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.

Hm, dunno. I think that this pretty much sucks for converting configs. It only
really works for a fixed or a flex layout, and even then the old rightleft stuff
doesn't work. The syntax for align also is too different from what is there in
3.4.
However, this might shorten configs a bit. E.g. before:
local l = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal
l:add(a)
l:add(b)
l:add(c)
after:
local l = { layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
a, b, c }
I'm not sure if it's worth merging this just for this minor convenience...

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.

wibox.layout happened to it. Works quite different, is IMHO way more flexible
and everyone out there will hate me because it breaks their config.
If you got some more specific question, I'd be happy to help.
> set_gradient_colors also seem to be gone. Are there replacements?
Dunno, I never figured out how that was supposed to work.
So let's try the example from the set_gradient_colors docs:
{ "#ff", "#00ff00", "#ff", ["#ff"] = 10 }
I think this might now be:
{ type = "linear", from = { 0, 0 }, to = { 10, 0 },
stops = { { 0, "#ff" }, { 1, "#00ff00" } } }
However, I'm not sure about that.
The above defines a linear gradient which goes from the point 0,0 to the point
10, 0. At 0,0, the gradient will be red and at 10, 0 it is green. You can add
more color stops, e.g. { 0.5, "#ff" } to get some blue in the middle.
Btw did I mention that this new color stuff is way more flexible? ;-)
You can now use such a color definition everywhere where a color is expected,
not only with the progressbar (or whichever widget it was). Also, there are more
types of gradients than just linear (solid, linear, radial, surface).
