Dear moodle experts glimlach  

We just updated to Moodle 4.1 and it came to my attention the full name was removed from the top navbar. 

After doing some searching I found out that “with the introduction of profile picture placeholder the full username will no longer be Displayed in the top navbar”

The full name in the top navbar is a very handy, especially for K12 teachers with a lot of different student. 

Does anyone know a work around or something to get  the full name back in header. I’m able/capable to edit files. 

Thanks for your support.
