Disable player name coregui in top right corner

Feature Requests Engine Features
#1

It is currently impossible to disable the player name in the top right corner without resorting to very ugly hacks, as seen here: https://devforum.roblox.com/t/coregui-can-i-move-the-playername-slightly/74971/3

(Disabling the topbar altogether gets rid of other features devs like, such as chat.)

Proposal:

It’s possible to disable other coreguis like backpack easily:

game.StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack,false)

So an addition like this would make it easy for any dev to utilize the top right corner:

game.StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.PlayerName,false)

Don’t mean to detract from your suggestion, but just a note: You can actually enable the chat with the TopBar disabled by modifying the “ChatSettings” module in Chat service: module.ChatOnWithTopBarOff = true.

The backpack still won’t work without the top bar, though.

ChatOnWithTopBarOff is glitchy: it doesn’t keep the button for pc, or buttons for mobile. Using thegamer101’s workaround to re-add the button is also glitchy and has unexpected behaviour with fading out the chat / keeping it active. Yet another Very Ugly Hack like the one in the original post. Still sticking to the original post’s suggestion ):

This probably can’t happen because it would be hiding the Account 13+ (or <13) display

When the name is hidden (e.g. when topbar is disabled), it gets shifted to the right of the menu button.
