For landscape mode, I just settled on the default landscape desktop and no longer had those problems. Re-selecting the iPhone one didn't solve it for me.
So I tried it all out for a week and it was beautiful, but I found that it was missing a lot of functionality. My notifications (email, SMS, voicemail, etc.) were not always updating the text objects. Sometimes there would be no notification, just the "I" at the top (no pop-up or sound/vibration). I also sometimes needed at a glance the next few days' appointments to make a new one, but had to make people wait while I loaded the Calendar app and navigated ahead. Finally, switching quickly between programs would occasionally freeze it. I SSH a lot with my Mogul, so freezes are a big deal as far as getting work done.
I believe these are all issues with WA Desktop, and not lazyboy's theme, so I have removed WA Desktop and thus my iPhone skin.
Anyway, thanks again, lazyboy. Maybe Lakeridge will update their WA Desktop soon and work out the bugs -- it's fairly old.
On the plus side, the WisBar is still working and lookin good (top black bar and cascading start-style menu), as is S2U2.
