Actually, it is possible with Awesome directly.
--You have to create a wibox first:
local mydesktop_wibox = wibox({})

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)
Looks promising and _almost_ works, need a bit more help. Added this
code at the very bottom of my ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua. It draws a
single pixel at (100, 100) of correct color. I tried:
mydesktop_wibox:set_bg("#FF0000FF")
or:
mydesktop_wibox:set_bg("#FF000080")
local myib = wibox.widget.textclock(...) -- red pixel
or:
local myib = wibox.widget.imagebox("/home/me/images/avatar100x100.jpg",
false) -- blue pixel from my avatar
-- Tried to add this, got single pixel again.
-- But when I made a mistake first time and wrote "mylib.fit(100, 100)"
(dot instead of colon),
-- then awesome showed me a error and falled back to default config with
different wallpaper,
-- but 100x100 area kept a piece of my own wallpaper with red pixel at
top-left corner.
myib:fit(100, 100)
mydesktop_wibox:set_widget(myib)
