I take it you want to display an OSD page that has been set up with window
and color definitions all of your own, right? I'm afraid that's currently
not possible, because your plugin gets started out of the Main menu, and at
that time the OSD has already been set up.

When I make the "input" plugin interface I'll add the possibility of defining
"macros" that can be assigned to the color buttons. Pressing a color button in
normal viewing mode will then have the same effect as, e.g., pressing
"Menu - 5 - Ok" or whatever it takes to start your plugin.
