Homepage Widget Placement & Layout Flexibility
The new homepage layout feels very cluttered.
For clients who have transitioned to the new homepage, the first thing I do is remove unnecessary widgets — typically leaving only bank accounts and invoices & bills visible.
However, the current layout forces widgets to fill the top row first. For example, if there are three bank account widgets and both invoices and bills widgets enabled, the system will display four widgets across the top row and push the remaining widget to a second row.
There is no option to leave space in the top row or manually group similar widgets together. This makes the homepage feel visually unbalanced and contributes to a cluttered appearance.
Allowing users to customise widget positioning (e.g., manually arranging or grouping widgets) would significantly improve clarity and usability.

Based on this, I would like the widgets locked so they don't move when you resize the page.
One of the businesses I use has a lot of accounts and as I change the size of the page, they move, making it trickier to spot the one I want quickly.
