I tried this.
-- Create a progress bar widget
barwidget = awful.widget.progressbar()
barwidget:set_color("#00ff00")
barwidget:set_background_color("#000000")
barwidget:set_border_color("#00ff00")
barwidget:set_vertical(false)
barwidget:set_width(40)
barwidget:set_height(12)
barwidget:set_value(0.5)
-- const = wibox.layout.constraint()
-- const:set_strategy("exact")
-- const:set_height(8)
-- const:set_width(40)
-- const:set_widget(barwidget)
marginbox = wibox.layout.margin()
marginbox:set_margins(5)
marginbox:set_widget(barwidget)
No change in how the widget appears.
