That sounds promising but I’m not having much luck. I created a layout with a container that has a button inside. I gave the button a background color and text and saved the Layout component as a custom layout:

But then when I go to select it as the DVL layout, it shows up blank (the last two or three entries are blank) and clicking in that area doesn’t do anything:
