Background color of textbox widgets in Awesome 3.5

[Max Buelte]

Hi, I was wondering how I'm able to migrate the following widget
configuration to Awesome 3.5:

-- Date widget
local datewidget = wibox.widget.textbox()
vicious.register(datewidget, vicious.widgets.date, "<span color='#000000'> %R 
</span>", 61) 
if screen.count() > 1 then
    datewidget:buttons( awful.util.table.join(
        awful.button({ }, 1, function () exec(script_path .. 
"dzen2_cal-extended_display.sh") end)
    ))           
else             
    datewidget:buttons( awful.util.table.join(
        awful.button({ }, 1, function () exec(script_path .. "dzen2_cal.sh") 
end)
    ))           
end
datewidget.bg = "#df7401"


Everything is working as expected accept for the background color.  Of course,
I can set the color inside the <span>, but this will only change the background
color of the text, and will not fill the whole wibox.

Thanks a lot!
