Oh, you aren't trying to hide a wibox, you are trying to hide individual
widgets! I didn't even remember that was possible in 3.4.
My current proposal would be a hack using wibox.layout.margin:
Your current netdownwidget becomes netdownidget_internal and instead you do:
netdownwidget = wibox.layout.margin(netdownwidget_internal)
Then, instead of doing
netdownwidget.visible = false
you do
netdownwidget:set_widget(nil)
And instead of
netdownwidget.visible = true
you do
netdownwidget:set_widget(netdownwidget_internal)
Yes, of course this is just a hack, but at least this hack doesn't require me to
change anything in awesome. ;-)
