Yup, you'll just need to add an onclick event handler that then tells the window to close.
This can be just in one place on the body instead of on all buttons individually because of
how events "bubble up". See below for an example.

So using a <moi:Text> element with a textid value actually means "Look up the text with this
id in the current string table". It's used for text that can be translated into different languages. The
ones that are not working for you are because there is no entry with that id in the string table
(see EnglishStrings.txt for example).
If you just want to make direct plain text you don't need to use a <moi:Text> for that,
you can just use the text directly.
Here's an example with those modifications, also I organized things into rows:
code:
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
padding: 4px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body class="MenuBody" onclick="moiWindow.close();">
<nobr>
<moi:CommandButton icon="moi://ui/icons/TrimIcon.png" command="Trim">Trim</moi:CommandButton>
<moi:Spacer/>
<moi:CommandButton icon="moi://ui/icons/MirrorIcon.png" command="Mirror">Mirror</moi:CommandButton>
<moi:Spacer/>
<moi:CommandButton icon="moi://ui/icons/OffsetIcon.png" command="Offset">Offset</moi:CommandButton>
</nobr>
<moi:MenuSeparator/>
<nobr>
<moi:CommandButton icon="moi://ui/icons/CPlaneIcon.png" command="script: /* CPlane */ moi.view.setCPlaneInteractive();">CPlane</moi:CommandButton>
<moi:Spacer/>
<moi:CommandButton icon="moi://ui/icons/CPlaneIcon.png" command="script: /* Set CPlane to current view */ moi.view.setCPlane( moi.ui.mainWindow.viewpanel.getViewport('3D').targetFrame );">View</moi:CommandButton>
<moi:CommandButton icon="moi://ui/icons/CPlaneIcon.png" command="script: /* Reset CPlane to default */ moi.view.resetCPlane();">Reset</moi:CommandButton>
</nobr>
<nobr>
<moi:CommandButton icon="moi://ui/icons/ScaleIcon.png" command="Scale">Scale</moi:CommandButton>
<moi:Spacer/>
<moi:CommandButton icon="moi://ui/icons/Scale2dIcon.png" command="Scale2d">Scale 2D</moi:CommandButton>
<moi:Spacer/>
<moi:CommandButton icon="moi://ui/icons/Scale1dIcon.png" command="Scale1d">Scale 1D</moi:CommandButton>
</nobr>
<moi:MenuSeparator/>
<nobr>
<moi:CommandButton icon="moi://ui/icons/BooleanDifferenceIcon.png" command="BooleanDifference">Diff</moi:CommandButton>
<moi:Spacer/>
<moi:CommandButton icon="moi://ui/icons/BooleanUnionIcon.png" command="BooleanUnion">Union</moi:CommandButton>
<moi:Spacer/>
<moi:CommandButton icon="moi://ui/icons/BooleanIntersectionIcon.png" command="BooleanIntersection">Isect</moi:CommandButton>
<moi:Spacer/>
<moi:CommandButton icon="moi://ui/icons/BooleanMergeIcon.png" command="BooleanMerge">Merge</moi:CommandButton>
</nobr>
</body>
</html>
Hope that helps!
