Actually, it is possible with Awesome directly.
--You have to create a wibox first:
local mydesktop_wibox = wibox({})
--then set a geometry:
mydesktop_wibox.x = 100
mydesktop_wibox.y = 100
mydesktop_wibox.width = 100
mydesktop_wibox.height = 100
mydesktop_wibox.below = true
mydesktop_wibox.visible = true
--then make it transparent:
mydesktop_wibox:set_bg("#00000000") --transparent
-- and set your widget
mydesktop_wibox:set_widget(your_widget)
