Homepage - Resize Widgets
Homepage seems overly cluttered. Would be great to be able to resize widget tiles & have the ability to change the graph styles

Hi everyone, we thoroughly appreciate the feedback we've been receiving about the sizing of widgets and desire for more flexibility with these.
Our product teams are currently working on updates to allow resizing of more of the widgets on the Homepage.
There are considerations that weigh into what's possible' like what information sits within each widget.
The resizing will work in the same way as what has been provided with the Cash in and out, and Chart of accounts watch list widget.
I'll be sure to keep you updated here as new widget sizes are rolled out. Thanks

What is it with the GUI designers that they have to keep making font sizes extra large and generally wasting screen space with large blank border areas, so any advantage of increasing monitor size is negated by the boxes seemingly being the same ratio as the old homepage on the smaller monitor?
For those in open plan offices, there are confidentiality problems, because bank balances and the like become easier to read at a distance, so you'll be looking at hiding the dashboard from view as much as possible, slowing down your productivity, or it's a case of not having those widgets on the dashboard, defeating the point of the new widgets.

Either a double-width widget (spanning two columns) or an option for 2 columns. I find the 3 columns overwhelming.

@Kelly -- This is similar to the request I posted a week or so ago. Someone on your team combined my request into a feature request for the released product (not the beta navigation), and you'll see that I left a comment saying I think that combination was a mistake -- trying to merge 2 distinct requests. If you need to combine my request (& any associated votes) anywhere, it should probably be here. Thanks.
Here's the link to the feature where my request was combined -- incorrectly, in my opinion: https://productideas.xero.com/forums/939198-for-small-businesses/suggestions/47768120-xero-resize-in-conjunction-with-browser-window

I find the view is too much and some of the widgets are too big. I'd love to be able to choose a smaller size for some that don't need such significant real estate.
Also allow the Accountant to set a global view that would encompass client and team views. This makes sure that everyone is seeing the same reporting and data

I would like the ability to resize the widgets on the homepage. Perhaps this is offering versions of the widgets with or without different elements (e.g., toggling the bar chart on or off on the "bills to pay" or "invoices owed to you" widgets). Perhaps it's literally just about making it smaller & removing excessive white space (see attached example of the chart of accounts watchlist for one of my clients).
