Exactly how is the 4.0 responsive and how can I get it to work well on desktop along with working well for a smart phone?

Well, it would help me alot to know how to make an artisteer website be responsive enough to be viewed on a smart phone...even if it meant changing some of the coding.
Many templates/themes nowadays are being made responsive... i was hoping Artisteer would do the same. Maybe they have but at this point I need some instructions along with the beta version to make it work.

Looks like 'responsive design' is currently not supported in Artisteer 4.

I am with your regrading the responsive designs. I'm truly hoping they will reward us with that sooner rather than later, as I'm also finding free responsive templates as oppose to being offered only by the premium (paid) templates. It has become very popular, very fast, and Artisteer unfortunately has fallen behind in that regards.
The shift from just a template generator, to also a html editor is not new. This was presented to us with 3.0. However with 4.0 they have solidified it. It was very weak and elementary at best (content editing). I wonder if we now can iframe pages and other things that we were not allowed to do within Artisteer. I need to test those.
They changed the sequence of how things work, and if you ask me to the better. With 3.1 and earlier, you first had to choose the template type, and only if you chose a web site or blog type you could edit the html code (content editing). Now, that is available to everyone since content editing is allowed no matter for what type of a web site your template is for. And in the end, you can import the content within your cms...
Starting with 4.0 everybody gets the same template building and content building experience, and depending to what type of template you are exporting to, Artisteer exports the files accordingly. It will get the same data, and generate different files depending what you choose during the exporting process (html, WordPress, Joomla, etc...).
I think this is a big change, and a big step forward, but obviously some people disagree, which is fine.
Some months ago, some were complaining that they could not edit the content within Artisteer while making WordPress templates. Well now, you can. You can't argue for both sides...
However, let's not lose our focus, these are things we can't control, we need to find all the bugs, and we need to start experimenting with the SDK...

Hi
Just downloaded the Overview of Artisteer 4.0 features, it seems to have been changed from the version I downloaded last night. No longer makes reference to "responsive designs".

@mightec
You are correct, they did change the wording. Good, that clears that up.

"...clears that up." ?? I don't agree. Although I find this 4.0 beta to be a great step forward, the ability for it to produce responsive designs should be expected in 2012. Responsive designs will soon be mainstream.

Beta is not Release, so let's wait for the next update.

I agree 100% with ross. However, he is responding to posts that were posted before we "previewed" the beta 2 version. The statements and sentiments were true then, but now the next coming version it's a big game changer.
Someone who does not the timeline well, and starts reading the posts on this page, might not realize this.
Artisteer in my opinion, is moving in the right direction, in all aspects. It's impossible to satisfy all, but they are by far the leaders in what they do, and I do expect to gain major market share not only from other template generating software, but also from html editing software as well, like Dreamweaver, Frontpage, etc... Why do you think content editing was added since 3.0?

maybe you could write a plug-in to make them responsive

I actually have started converting the artisteer files into responsive layouts. The beauty of artisteer is that it always created the same code as in what the containers are called.
Heres' a great tutorial about how you can convert themes in general:
http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/theme-development/converting-wordpress-to-be-mobile-friendly/
Here you can see one I have converted but it's still in work.
http://testsite2.jewel-webdesign.com/
I was working on a cheat sheet of the steps to convert it to make it faster. Unfortunately, I'm not a programmer otherwise I would convert it into a plug-in

How to make Joomla template created with Artisteer 4.x responsive:
1. When exporting template be sure you selected YES for responsive design.
2. Open file script.responsive.js with Notepad (can be found in the root of exported .zip)
3. At the beginning change values to "true" instead of "false", to look like this:
var responsiveDesign = {
isResponsive: true,
isDesktop: true,
isTablet: true,
isPhone: true,
Save file and update it to the web server. That;s it.
