Hi team, we thoroughly appreciate all the feedback we’ve received from customers about the new homepage experience. We hear you and are committed to providing more customisation options, which’ll help with some of the pain points raised in this idea.
Currently we’re exploring the ability to resize widgets and simplify widgets and allow you to remove charts, and as you'll see from my recent update on another idea we have plans for exploring 'views' in the coming months.
It’s worth noting that currently you can "Customise" the homepage to remove widgets that you don’t want to see and simplify your view.
We’d also like to acknowledge feedback here on the red colouring - To provide some insight this was intentional, and is used to highlight what needs attention, which actually came from our early feedback and testing. However, we appreciate hearing from more users on this and will continue to…

Thanks for your feedback on the new homepage here. We appreciate what works well and not so well for our customers with the new experience. Our product team have been taking this all onboard as they continue to plan their roadmaps. Since initially released in beta, they've made some changes to the 'Cash in and out' and 'Chart of accounts' widgets so when customising your view you'll now have the options to 'Make larger' or 'Make smaller'.
Right now, they're also considering sizing of other widgets and your contributions in this idea are super useful to their exploration of this. I'll be sure to share any further updates of the sizing of widgets with you all here.

Not a fan of the new homepage. The widgets are too big with so much whitespace it makes you wonder why. Surely they can be resized to smaller tiles. They lost the graphs even though they are bigger!
Scrolling the homepage just to see what bank accounts need to be reconciled is missing the point of a dashboard. The 8 bank accounts we have dont even fit on one screen, making it at least a 3 page dashboard if you want any of the even bigger tiles

Not a fan of the autoresizing of the dashboard. The claim is that the sized screen will be remembered for each screen size you use. That is not true!
It might remember it for each device, but for those of us that use multiple extended desktop screens where Xero may be run on the smaller laptop screen but also sometime run on the adjacent larger extended screen, then the layout goes from a remembered 3 column tile sequence to a 4 column layout where the tiles no long display in the original planned pattern (eg bank accounts in first 2 columns and invoices and bills tiles in the third) but end up in the same horizontal scrolling sequence which does not make sense in a 4 column layout.
Maybe the option of a maximum column count setting would assist maintaining the layout no matter what screen size it is displayed on on.
Of course smaller tiles where everything fits on 1 homepage screen (instead of 3 pages of scrolling homepage) would solve it too.
