That's right, there is no ".visible" right now. Something like this could be
added, if needed, to all widgets by implementing lots of magic in
wibox.widget.base. However, I'm not sure if I really like this magic.
In the mean time, here is some hack to fake .visible for any widget:
local systray = wibox.widget.systray()
local container = wibox.layout.margin(systray)
(Use "container" instead of the actual systray in your wibox)
To hide the systray:
container:set_widget(nil)
To make the systray visible:
container:set_widget(systray)
