Commons Responsive is based on the idea of the theme FBG (http://drupal.org/project/fbg) combined with the current Commons Origins theme

Commons Responsive is a responsive theme that offers touchscreensupport for menus in combination with the Superfish module (http://drupal.org/project/superfish)

Superfish makes it a little more complicated to get the theme work as decided. It's not only copying the theme to your theme folder.
On top of that, the module "Responsive" shipped together with the theme (build with Features) needs to be installed (including all dependencies)

Don't forget the Superfish library!

Why is all that necessary?
Commons already uses Fusion with a basic installation of the Superfish technology. But we need to be able to use the touschscreensupport and the device detection build in current release of the module (6.x-1.8).
The touchscreensupport enables a comfortable way to use dropdown menus on your mobile devices.

The magic of the theme is the "hide_and_show.css".
This css file uses media queries to hide or show content depending on the screenresolution. The idea behind is to hide content not needed for the functionality of the site.
fe. reduce the content of http://www.crowdcreation.de/sites/default/files/users/u1/Tabelle6.jpg
to http://www.crowdcreation.de/sites/default/files/users/u1/Tabelle2.jpg and keep function alive.

The 2 files attached contain:
theme_feature_only.zip: only the theme and necessary module called "responsive", containing all necessary dependencies and configuration "caught" with Features.
all_inclusive.zip: the theme and all needed dependencies

Wow, thanks for this contribution!

I suggest creating a Drupal.org project for this functionality to help make it easier for others to test and file issues. Marking as "needs review" to help call attention to this issue for those who might be interested in reviewing this D6 functionality.
