Marc, unfortunately new features take priority over needs like this. I wish product companies would listen to the user voice of their current customers rather than load more features to attract new ones. I have repeatedly asked for updates and nothing happens. It’s the way a lot of software seems to track, a roadmap, even asking us to do customer insights through One Picture when there’s a huge amount of requests here. We’re shaping how the product should be here but it’s not even on the radar. I tried to do the feedback, but as soon as I answered a question it didn’t like it kicked me out.

Its more than two years since this simple suggestion was made with support from may people.
Either the developers don't see this forum, or they don't care, meaning this is just lip service.I can't see why they wont do this, it will make life so much easier for users with very little work from Xero.

I have two very similar companies. A visual easy way of identifying which entity I was in would be extremely helpful and help avoid errors! Please implement as soon as possible!

Would be great to be able to change the font and colour inside xero, as we have an issue of all our fonts being bold

Jessica Anger commented
Be able to change the colour of the dashboard as we use Xero for more than one business and sometimes we have both open at the same time. It gets confusing when both are blue.

This would be very helpful. Sometimes when logging in you don't always end up with the last organisation you were working with, so this would help avoid mistakes. It would of thought this could be quite an easy thing to do, and so a quick win?

I am using Xero for 4 different organisations, it would be great to set the colours to ensure i have a visual for the different companies.

Does Xero even look at these comment's??
This should be pretty easy for them to do, as you can see from all the comments, it is a very important tool to have when you have multiple companies.

Peter Sinner commented
Very important to differentiate between organisations

Yes, yes and yes. Perhaps even allowing us to upload a logo. Being able to set the colour for groups would be nice, too.

I’ve been looking for a setting for this exact question! Please approve

Lisa Pizzardi commented
Yes please - different colour backgrounds and the ability to open more than one file/company at a time would be awesome... I also open in different browsers to be able to do intercompany transfers and invoicing etc.. so being able to open more than one company at a time would be useful and the ability to change the colours to know they are different files when open at the same time would be great - not to mention colour coding with our admin folders.

Megan Pelser commented
This would be great especially for those of us who have multiple companies in Xero and the changing across entities is confusing because you can't have more than 1 entity open at a time either. Something that should be considered as nice as well

Daniel Forster commented
This would be very helpful

Leeanne Neilson commented
yes i run three companies and would love to colour code them to match their admin folders

Nicola Holdaway commented
Yes please this would be VERY useful!

@Louise Symonds and the others looking to have multiple companies open simultaneously, I do this by using multiple browsers - have one open in Chrome, another in Firefox etc - works well for me - but the issue of both companies looking the same can sometimes trip me up! 🥲
