sorry for the late reply been a little busy, first of all thanks for the feedback and secondly changing the icon size and font size is pretty easy to do yourself, just navigate to the folder where the shell theme is stored and open gnome-shell.css and search for .system-status-icon {there change the icon-size to the one you like the one i've kept on is 14px, as for the app font search for .app-well-app > .overview-icon and change font-size to what you would like and thats it.
I have two bugs to report.
The first one is a missing background in the online status combobox in the user's menu. Gnome 3.2 introduced this new widget.
The second is more serious. This theme - like many others - causes the shell to freeze completely when the search feature is used. Most of the time the shell freezes instantly after typing in the first character.
The latter one must be due to some API/styling changes in Gnome 3.2 since many of the themes that worked with 3.0 will now cause shell freeze.
I checked GDM logs and there was nothing printed. Also .xsession-errors didn't seem to have anything useful.
I forgot to mention I have two computers running Gnome 3.2 and they both suffer of the freeze caused by the themes. One is running i686 and the other one is x86_64. I have tried resetting Gnome configs to no avail. Also the other computer has had a clean installation of the OS.
Thanks for the tip. I didn't even know there were two version included in the archive because I always install themes using gnome-tweak-tool.
Maybe you should split the archive in two different versions or please at least add a note of this situation in the description.
Ubuntu font is nice, but gnome preffers cantarella font.
Can you add
"font-family: ubuntu; cantarell, sans-serif;"
for better compatibility with distros without ubuntu-font ?

it works. but icons on the top panel are smaller! i think standard size is better. in applications menu fonts under icons are small.

there are two packages in the download check which one you used, one says gs-metalx-gnome3.2, thats the one your supposed to install for gnome3.2.
