For example, you still have to click on the small hyperlinks in order to view a forum or a thread instead of making the whole div clickable.

Even if I've agreed with you on this before (is really very friendly to click on div), I just seen that xenForo and IPB styles have the same functionality, so let's not count it as important disadvantage. Only Woltlab WBB has this functionality by default.

I agree and really don't understand the need of so many fancy effects. The style itsself looks nice.

If you try the mobile style that is supplied by vBulletin, they have done it properly and you can click the divs which is so much better, in my opinion, than clicking on hyperlinks.

Ahaa.... Ok, I misunderstood. You compare it with vB Mobile style. I thought that you compare it with other responsive themes.

I know that vB Mobile has this functionality, and actually I prefer using it even if it needs extra coding.

I have yet to see a theme for vBulletin 4 that is truly fully responsive on all pages.

Dave answered for me :)

Responsive is always better than mobile styles in every cases.

You can get a fairly effective responsive theme just by changing the existing style variables from pixels to percentages. It isn't perfect but the average user wouldn't know the difference.

I don't think it is simple like that. Have you tried this way on vB 4 default theme?

I've done several for clients using the @media rule by converting all the necessary CSS selectors from pixel units or percentages to em or rem units. It isn't difficult. It is extremely time consuming. That is probably why no one who has done one is posting it as a free style.

Using percentages instead of pixels will make it responsive, but it still will not make it mobile friendly.
A truly responsive mobile friendly theme will take a lot of time to make, so no surprise that there's no such theme out there yet.

I'm thinking that is impossible that nobody over internet (except sultantheme or webmastersun) is able to build a custom responsive skin for vbulletin 4.... any advice?

As said before, it takes a significant amount of time to make a truly responsive theme.
Even if there was one out there, I doubt it would be cheap/free.
