How could Xero improve the homepage?

Being able to apply different colors to different types of widgets (for examples bank accounts vs credit card accounts) would help me a lot.

The white/pale grey can also be really intense. Any chance of a Dark Mode?

I need to get rid of the red text - the colour contrast is insufficient and trying to read it gives me a migraine because the text swims.

The colour choices fail WCAG accessibility success criterion 1.4.6 and the inability to customise to the accessibility needs of the user fails criterion 1.4.8

Personalise the colour and allow company branding on dashboard

Be great to be able to change the colours on the graphs and data 😍

Very difficult for client with color blindness. I have one client who cannot see BLUE.

Oddly, even when you do upload a logo, it doesn't appear to be used anywhere and still just displays two initials instead of the graphic - seems like a bug to me.

Add background colour to dashboard tiles so each account can be seen differently and easily. v useful when managing multiple accounts.

Could we please have some more color! The new layouts are great and bigger, but the amount of white makes it harder to read and follow. More color fading in backgrounds and sections would help a lot!

Would love to see more colour coding options.
A personalised touch to homepage to differentiate accounts as well as see RED numbers for under accs or overdue invoices

Given several feedback points on the forum, I feel now is the time to investigate exposing greater visual customisation options - not just for the homepage, although this could be an initial test ground, but also across the whole of the product.

Most of these can be implemented quite easily through adjustments in CSS, driven by user preferences, ensuring that Xero holistically adopts a consistent set of rendering styles. There should be zero impact on the actual functionality, with the majority of the changes/improvements sitting entirely within the presentation/UI of the product.

These preferences would include visual and accessibility options, such as:

1. The ability to choose whether borders are shown around widgets.
2. How negative numbers are shown, whether in red/black and using minus or brackets.
3. How many columns (a maximum) are shown on the dashboard (2, 3, or 4).
4. Possibility for "dark" and "light" themes, or even a custom theme defined by the user.
5. Whether high-contract colouring is adopted, or other accessibility options such as font-size.

There are many feedback points regarding these individual issues - rather than being fixed by Xero itself (which is what the Xero responses seem to imply), I believe the majority of the feedback is showing that we need visual customisation/flexibility to ensure that Xero works within our individual workflows and our own business/working environments.

To be honest, I'm surprised this further level of flexibility has not been considered as part of the new homepage - although I appreciate to get a consistent level of customisation across the whole product would be involve further effort (especially if those areas have not been designed to support easy customisation through CSS).

I manage three Xero entities.

The top bar is the same (blue) colour for all three so it's not immediately obvious which entity I'm managing.

Color coding tiles for easy organization and access.

I'd love to be able to color code the different homepage tiles and rearrange them so I have a bit more control over the hierarchy and can visually organize my account/ invoices etc.

Thanks!

Can we have the ability to colour code the tiles on our dashboard? This might make the new layout more user friendly

Can we change the logo you have provided in the upper left hand corner and use our own?

Being able to change the colour for different companies, means I dont accidently add information to the wrong company.

The option to colour wigets to assist in organisation and easy recognition would be helpful.

It would be helpful to have different background colours for different companies.

Would be good if the bank widgets could be in a different colour to the rest of the widgets and perhaps in a line down on side of the page. For a lot of clients they/we would not look at widgets at all so a separation for each access to the banks would be good.

Offering customizable color options on a homepage enhances user experience and strengthens brand engagement. Different users have varying visual preferences and accessibility needs—such as color blindness or sensitivity to bright tones. By allowing customization, you create an inclusive environment that accommodates these differences, improving usability and satisfaction. Additionally, personalisation fosters a sense of ownership and connection, which can increase time spent on the Homepage.
