It is not clear that the user can click the icon with the user name next to it to open mugshot to edit information. There is no highlightning of the background or tooltip. Also nothing happens clicking the user name. Only the icon. So i suggest high lighting it and/or show a tooltip to explain when the user can do.

Which version of whisker menu will this be available in as i'm running 2.3.5? What will the tooltip say?
It is available in version 2.4.0, which I released earlier this month. The tooltip is "Edit Profile".
Still believe the clickability of the button wont be noticeable without a hover over effect, as the tooltip only appears a second after the mouse stops over the icon.
