"As a player using the gog's offline installer, I just couldn't bear not to be able to set my own name, so here is how to do it !
No more weird titles, ( "Explorer" with everything ), discovered systems by Explorer @GOG, etc...
Here I will tell you how to :
_change your username.
_get rid of the gog icon that, in my opinion, breaks the immersion."
