How to make custom Product Display look like CommerceKickstart theme?

I'm trying to learn how to theme my site. I thought the modifications I wanted to make are simple. Change a few image sizes, the number of products displayed on the category/catalog page etc.

So, I tried to modify the Commerce Kickstart theme by creating a sub-theme and I cannot get the Product Display page looking the same. The "add to cart" area is shifted below the image gallery and large product image. When my screen size is normal and wide, the image gallery is displayed horizontally and the large image is shifted to the right of the screen. Things seem to work when I adjust the screen size to the "narrow" and smaller.

I thought this was a css thing? Something to do with the "responsive" settings for the Omega theme? Maybe the .tpl file? I decided the best strategy would be to duplicate the commerce_kickstart_theme folder and rename it "mytheme" in the sites/all/themes folder. After seeing several other Q&A I changed everything with names or phrases commerce_kickstart_theme to "mytheme" including .css .js .info and all. Nothing changes my Product Display. I'm really stuck. What am I missing? Can someone please help me pinpoint what setting I'm missing?

Thank You.

I have just done something similar. I created my sub-theme using the omega kickstart sub-theme but the same principles should apply for the commerce_kickstart_theme. Basically you need to follow the standard instructions for sub-themeing ( see https://drupal.org/node/225125). Did you load the demo store? If you have created a sub-theme and not made any other changes the demo store should look the same.

Thank you Lance for your suggestion. I installed part of the demo store...most of the options for things like cloud-zoom. Just didn't let the install populate all products or blog samples. On your sub-theme does the product display page look exactly like the CK product display? i.e. do the thumbnails appear vertically and the Add to Cart area appears to the right of the big image? Thanks.
