Hi community, we'd like to share an update as we've released new size options for a few more widgets. In addition to the Chart of accounts watchlist and Cash in and out you now have the option to Resize the following widgets;
- Tasks
- Net profit or loss
- Bills to pay
- Invoices owed to you
Along with this release, once the Homepage is saved and when the Small option is selected for either Bills to pay, or Invoices owed to you widgets, there'll be the option to toggle the chart on or off from the Homepage.
We'll be extending Resize out to more widgets soon, so I'll continue to keep you updated here.

If you are not going to give us the option of staying with the old layout which I much prefer, please let us make the widgets smaller. I extremely dislike the new layout, so big and in you face it's horrid. Definately not made by an everyday user.

Hi everyone, we appreciate the attention this idea has been getting. It's really good to hear how we can continue to improve the Homepage for our differing customers needs. We understand not all the widgets maybe useful to every user, and the 'Edit homepage' button will let you add or remove widgets to reduce what you see on the Homepage.
Taking on board feedback we're looking at the sizing of widgets and you'll find the 'Chart of Accounts' and 'Cash in and out' widgets are now smaller by default with an option to 'Make larger' - You can follow further updates for this on the idea here.
We have plans to dig deeper into possible 'view' options (like the different levels of views being asked here) in the new year and I'll share further updates here when this gets picked up. 🙂

I dont like the new homepage at all. Whoever designed it obviolusly doesn't use it everyday. I do not need in your face huge wigets. I dont need to know who 'Paid invoies recently'. The old page was great compared to this. All my bank accounts neatly down one side. My invoices and bills to be paid neatly on the right. The Account to watch in a place where my accountant and I put them. Any reports I needed only a click away. Now I have this abomination of a screen that I didn't ask for and in a few weeks won't be able to change. I don't aprrove of my monthly fees being used for unnecessary changes just to justify someones position.

GST - Keep GST in the "Account watch list" at the previous month until after the previous month is reconciled. I transfer my monthly GST into another Bank account at the end of each month so it is available when the BAS is due. It would be helpful it the monthly GST in the "Account watch list" didn't roll over to 0 on the 1st of the month but stayed until all accounts were reconciled and we could see what the GST payable amount was for the previous month. I think this would be a great feature to any small business.

Further to my comment back in January requesting we have the ability to change the size of the wigets, I am currently trying to train an employee to do the reconcilliations etc on Xero while I am on leave for a month. My employee is finding the home page very intimidating and in your face. Her comment was "it's very big and messy, isn't it!". She also doesn't need the peripheral widgets telling her how the business if going etc. If she can get confident using Xero I can see if we can delete that from her login down the track. A nice ordered list, like the old Home page would be heaps better for her.
I'd hate to be on the Spectrum and having to deal with that home page, it could almost be called discriminating.
Just thought you'd like some feedback from someone who has never used or seen Xero before - I don't think she would purchase it she needed an accounting system down the track.
