1. Is it still possible to change UI colors? In 3.x I changed the highlight color to white (in night mode) because I find that when roman text is white and Chinese characters are colored my focus is drawn to the roman text rather than the characters because the white text appears more prominent.
2. Are the buttons on the search keyboard customizable? I would want to disable the ones I don't use like zhuyin and voice input so that the others will be bigger.
3. An idea regarding the legacy search option: maybe you could add a start-up screen showing the two interfaces and asking people which one they want to use when they first upgrade. I switched it off cause I wanted to get the whole new experience, but I didn't even realize it was a setting until I poked around.
4. On the dictionary screen, if pinyin and zhuyin are both enabled they both get a play audio button, but its the same audio as far as I can tell. In 3.x there was only one button.
5. The tap area for the tabs in the dictionary screen feels slightly smaller than in 3.x but that could just be my imagination.
6. I love the new stroke order screen because you can see all the characters together. For the animated diagrams, this is a very small thing, but I found the stroke diagram play/forward/backward arrows to be more logical in 3.x than they are now and liked how they were centered on the screen without being pushed sideways by the settings button. However, I do like the settings button being there and feel like in the future you could take more settings out of the settings page and put then on the screen that they affect. Often in 3.x I would make a change, then go to the relevant mode and see the difference, then go back to the settings, etc., a time-consuming process.
One other random thing:
7. On the settings page, I would expect the Expert Mode settings to be at the bottom of the screen rather than the top.
Overall, I really like the new tabbed interface. Makes it much easier and faster to navigate. I also find the updated look to be much more clearer and readable.
