LcdStudio doesn't ship with any predefined screens, you can easily design and make it display anything you want by dragging information on your display. If you want a quick tutorial on how the designer works check out this page

I believe answer that you are looking for is:
LCDStudio needs to be running to give you the screen that you are looking for. Without LCDStudio running you will just have the default screens displayed.

There is no way (that I know of, or plans to) allow you to flash/upload your specific display to the device. While LCD Studio does not take up overhead, if the ability existed to upload your design to the Typhoon (or any other MO future product) it would take the product from great to KILLER.

Its impossible to do though, most of the data the designs use need to be extracted from the OS somehow and there's no way for a USB Device to do that on its own you always need something running to feed the device data.
