Yes, probably it have too many problems.

Yes what I call "panel" is the top desktop bar. Some people call like
that because is the most similar thing to GNOME 2.X gnome-panel.

AFAIK, the problem is  that there are several background-XXX variables
on the theme. As some years ago, some of the colors were hardcoded on
the gnome-shell via CSS. Take a look to this bug:

That is basically how user interaction would work with that feature. The
issue is that that feature still needs to be implemented.

I don't feel that lag on my computer.

You only need to sign in if you want to have write access to the
repositories. If the only thing that you want to do is getting confident
with the source code, you can't get is, as read access is public. For
example, as you are talking about the magnifier, if you want to get the
code of gnome-shell:

git clone https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell

The full list of repositories here:
