Ok, I tried it just now. I pasted your sample code at the end of the layout I'm working on. It shows when the layout starts but as soon as I exit the menu there's no way to return. I want it to listen to custom2 and be hidden by default until I press the button and not close until I press custom2 again or press a button on the display tied to custom2 which subsequently closes the menu.
