Homepage - Lines/border around widgets

I would like lines around the widgets as I find it confusing to see where each one starts and finishes. When I use the edit homepage option the lines are good.

    The new widgets, I'm finding it quite ******* the eyes without any borders to each box / or shadowing.

    The banner showing the new setup has a shadow (attached) which makes it easier to focus on one widget at a time.

    The graphs on the widgets are quite annoying also, anyway we can make these optional?

    Thanks

    I would like to have the option to make clearer borders, at least around my most important widgets. Without clear borders it feels like a big page of text.

    I agree Laurie - the home page is not as clear as the older format.

    Xero seem to have given in to their weakness, which is making everything REALLY BIG on the screen, thus requiring a lot more scrolling around.
    This happened with the 'new' invoicing screen, and now again with the new home page.

    Can you please include borders around the bank accounts, Invoices owed to you, Bills to pay. The homepage has become messy and similar to MYOB which is not ideal. I prefer layout of old Homepage with bank accounts down left hand side etc. It's almost information overload and too much!

    The screen looks very busy and is without definition.
    Frames around each Widget would help to define each one.
    It's very white on white.

    Perhaps useful for the technical minded and/or Xero devs...

    I've added lines around the widgets myself. You can use add-ons for your browser (if you know technically what you're doing) to override the style for Xero itself.

    If you know how to do this, and want to do this as a temporary work-around, you can use the following CSS - this will fix the number of columns to 3 no matter the screen size, and will add a border around the widgets.

    .dashboard-template-beta-grid { grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr) !important; }
    .dashboard-template-beta-widget { width: auto !important; height: auto !important; }
    .dashboard-template-beta-widget--contents { height: auto !important; border: 1px solid #c0c0c0; }

    I've made a raft of style changes myself to the new homepage using browser add-ons to override Xero's own style - temporary workaround until they fix everything.

    The new home page format just seems to have a bunch of numbers and words all jumbled together. At the very least, please add borders around each account and/or section. I much prefer the old format.

    I don't mind the new home screen, but could the separate items have a box around them to separate the views for easier reading, it all blurs into one when your looking at numbers.
