Description
This is an alternative to the default GNOME Shell theme. Features the following changes.Personal design changes mocked up for upstream.
Optimised for low resolutions.
More space for high resolutions.
9pt font size(default is mostly 10.5pt).
Ubuntu font enabled.
Consistent looking.
New switch design.
Panel translucency

Notes
At high resolutions like 1920x1080 and above the fonts will be small. A good font hinting setting and anti-aliasing setting like Rgba will really help.
Instructions:
Please avoid a manual install and use the GNOME Tweak Tool, it's much easier.
You can use the gnome-shell theme extension for easier switching of themes.
GNOME Tweak Tool
Make sure you have user-theme-extension installed. Load the GNOME Tweak Tool and go to Shell Extensions and click the "Use Theme Extension" switch. Now go to "Theme" and click the Shell Theme box and locate your theme zip. Now you can select the theme in the dropdown box. Make sure you selection the right version for the GNOME version you have, otherwise the theme will not show properly.
If you run GNOME 3.4, just extract the 3.4 version to ~/.themes

Thanks.
You need to look in the gnome-shell.css and look for:
.workspace-controls {
visible-width: 32px;
Lower number hides the workspace controls more.
