# Sundance's Responsive Design

 * On February 13 2012, The Theme Team for Automattic introduced a new “Starter 
   Theme” called “[The _s Theme](http://themeshaper.com/2012/02/13/introducing-the-underscores-theme/)“.
   It has been closely tied with the development of Twenty Twelve AND if I read 
   the post correctly, All New Themes Coming Out of Automattic will be based on 
   this new Default Theme Structure. I will assume that Sundance is based on this
   new formatting.
 * What I don’t understand is that Sundance was launched on March 1, 2012 on [WordPress.com’s Theme Showcase](http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/sundance/)
   as having a “Responsive Design” featuring “Responsive Width”, AND YET THERE IS
   NO MENTION OF THOSE FEATURES ON THIS SITE.
 * What gives?????

 * So you’re put off because the WordPress.ORG description and tags aren’t as descriptive
   as the WordPress.COM release page…?
 * Just for giggles, I’ve downloaded the WordPress.ORG version
 * `http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/sundance`
 * And used SVN to download the WordPress.COM version
 *     ```
       $ svn co https://wpcom-themes.svn.automattic.com/sundance/ sundance-svn
       ```
   
 * And performed a diff on both directories.
 *     ```
       $ diff sundance/ sundance-svn/
       ```
   
 * And installed the WordPress.ORG version on my Crash Test Dummy and eyeballed 
   it.
 * Except for minor WP.com entries in `sundance-svn/style.css` and `sundance-svn/
   functions.php` _it’s the exact same theme_.
 * So… what’s the problem again?

 * Jan,
 * You just proved my point. If they are the Exact Same Theme (and I thought they
   were), why doesn’t WordPress.org categorize/tag Themes for Responsive Design,
   so that new users can FILTER their search for Responsive Themes Only.

 * I have a different problem, cos I’m a bit of a newbie. I am running WordPress.
   org and WordPress.com blogs side by side. I liked the idea of Sundance cos I 
   do a lot of video. I wanted to experiment with it on my WordPress.org site.
    
   I clicked on activate. But that installed it on my WordPress.com blog which wasn’t
   what I wanted. I have managed to get it back (though I seem to have lost my header
   image, no big deal). I have downloaded the theme. How do I use it with my WordPress.
   org site? When I go to themes dialogue inside the site, I can’t find Sundance
   and when I searched on Automattic, I got three themes, but not Sundance. Do I
   just copy it across? And suppose I don’t like it after all, how do I get back
   to where I was before installing Sundance?

 * [@karldallas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/karldallas/), please create
   your own thread. It’s considered rude to intrude on someone else’s topic.
 * Also, if you have a WordPress.COM support question, please take it up with the
   correct forum.

 * **A POSITIVE ADDENDUM:**
 * Sundance has some great components:
 * 1.) FitVids
 * 2.) FlexSlider

 * 3.) Breakpoints at: 1024, 768, 600, 480, and 320.
