Name change?

I see that the latest nightlies include the ability to change the name of a player's name, which is extremely welcome. However, how does one access the GUI to facilitate this?

it is in the p****word window. Click on the green box in the player window.

Ahh, thank you, that's most helpful! But it is a little unclear for players. Perhaps clicking on the player name in the player window should take one to the name change/p****word box instead of the finances window...?

Usually finances are much more often needed. Thus the larger button for the more frequent operation.

I pondered also several other possibilities, but finally though the p****word frame might be most intuitive, since often one has to enter also a username and a p****word.

Ahh, but isn't there another, easier, way of getting at one's own player finance window? (And for other players, one doesn't need to be able to change their name at all).

Please try it before posting: You cannot change the name of a locked player. Only unclaimed players can be changed.

Ahh, that wasn't the point that I was making: sorry for being unclear. I meant that, to get to one's own finance window, one can easily press the "finance" button on the menu bar. Apart from clicking on headquarters, there is no way of getting at other players' finance windows, however, so it would make sense to retain that.

Alternatively, one could have the option to change name and p****word (additionally?) in the finance window itself.
