bat = lain.widget.bat{
        widget = {
                {
                        id = 'icon',
                        image = utils.lookup_icon('battery', 0),
                        resize = true,
                        widget = wibox.widget.imagebox
                },
                {
                        id = 'text',
                        widget = wibox.widget.textbox
                },
                layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal
        },
        settings = function()
        end
}

snd = lain.widget.pulse{
        widget = {
                {
                        id = 'icon',
                        image = utils.lookup_icon('audio-card', 0),
                        resize = true,
                        widget = wibox.widget.imagebox
                },
                {
                        id = 'text',
                        widget = wibox.widget.textbox
                },
                layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal
        },
        settings = function()
        end
}

I've also tried it where I set the widgets like this:

bat = lain.widget.bat{
	settings = function()
	end
}
bat.widget = {
	{
		id = 'icon',
		image = utils.lookup_icon('battery', 0),
		resize = true,
		widget = wibox.widget.imagebox
	},
	{
		id = 'text',
		widget = wibox.widget.textbox
	},
	layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal
}

snd = lain.widget.pulse{
	settings = function()
	end
}
snd.widget = {
	{
		id = 'icon',
		image = utils.lookup_icon('audio-card', 0),
		resize = true,
		widget = wibox.widget.imagebox
	},
	{
		id = 'text',
		widget = wibox.widget.textbox
	},
	layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal
}

However, widget becomes nil in the settings function.

It doesn't work because that is not the intended way.

Both widgets have an internal textbox that you can modify within settings(), as you can read in the wiki.

But I understand the point of adding more customisation. Let me reply to your PR.
