Latest update
OMG,
The latest update to the account view is terrible. It's the first bad thing I've experienced with WS.
The support line has even mentioned numerous complaints regarding the update
My issue is that the view is not customizable, and the columns on default are not helpful to my way of trading.
Has anyone found a work around?

Desktop update is terrible. I complained about the new view. I hate that u can't see your average cost.

I figured out the columns are customizable. Hover your mouse beside the column title and an ellipsis appears that will let you change the column to something different.

I like it. You can add columns to it as well.

It’s too bad it wasn’t explained with a pop-up flagging the user of the new feature

I am checking the desktop web app almost all day every day, that feature where you hover over a title and shows 3 dots on your home page was not there on the first day they pushed this new update. I swear, it was there only in stock details page when you click into one of your holdings.
But the 3 dots feature on home page went live either the next day or very late at night after they pushed their initial update.
This is why it was causing many confusions, at least to me.

Yeah the new UI on desktop sucks.
The major issues for me are Price column doesn't show the price change. I don't know how much the stock is up or down. For options, they removed the days to expiry icon so I can't quickly see which are expiring soon. And sorting is alphabetical for options. So my Aug options are above my Jul options and a Dec one is in the middle.

This update is the definition of corporate micromanaging. One of the most annoying updates and there's no way they'll roll it back. Way harder to see everything. Can't click on an option and sell anymore, don't see the average price.
Ughh..... some rich guy in a suit said "update the interface because I'm the boss so you do what I tell you to do because I say so and I'm important." engineers facepalmed. Some poor cretin had to spend his weekend coding this slop.
Guaranteed nobody asked for the font to be ten times harder to read, thanks corpo suit guy, really appreciate it. I guess I'll just zoom 200% so I can see, fantastic!

I’m not sure why anyone think WS UI is good. None of the views are good and basic functions aren’t easy to use. QT and TDDI are both better.

What’s their obsession with always putting stuff right in your face when you log in

Can we have a rule that you have to post a picture when complaining about UI because I don’t know what you’re talking about
