Because of a temporary glitch with the beta version of Theme Builder landscape mode is not currently supported.  A free upgrade will be provided once RIM updates Theme Builder.  In the meantime it is highly recommended that users use an application to lock their homescreen in portrait mode.  There are many apps to do this, but The Theme Zone recommends the Free app: Six Tools.  Direct download link:  http://wap.shao-soft.com/shao/SixTools.jad
