@tehk_maverick,

As far as I understand it a lot of thought has gone into making 1.7 work just the same with the themes that have been developed specifically for BP.

Have you tried installing it on a responsive theme that was not made specifically to work with BP? Do it. I was amazed.

Apparently, there are also quite a few ‘backend’ changes which will allow BP to run a bit more efficiently.
