Hello, how i change my userneme in chat windows? It appears this: 1835120554@chat.facebook.com/5XAoi4xq.
This is very ugly and it fill a great part of chat window. Someone know hot to change that? I can't find any option to rename :s

Thanks.

Try using a "Local alias"
Accounts > the account you want to change > Edit Account
Below User Options you should see Local alias and an empty text box put what you want to show up instead of 1835120554@chat.facebook.com/5XAoi4xq in the text box click save and see if that solves your problem.
