In-game Layout

I am really happy with the new layout of chess.com, it looks much cleaner and seems to be more responsive. But, one massive oversight is when I start a new game it enters focus mode by default (great!), the absence of text boxes and notation means I can have a larger board (again great!); however, there is no player name visible unless I mouse over the timers, and there is no information on the player elo or connection available at all! This is a massive oversight and should be remedied. The layout would then, in my opinion, be perfect. If this is already a customisable option I am unable to figure out how to configure the settings in such a way.

Yes, I understand that this information is available in the non-focus layout, however this would require me to click the focus button to view it, then click it again to enlarge my screen. This is not a viable option as I play 1 minute chess almost exclusively. The alterations suggested would not take much to tweak, and Im sure you would find a large number of bullet players would appreciate the change.

The whole idea of Focus mode is to remove all the extra information. It wasn't an oversight but a design decision to only have the board and clocks.

I understand that, but there is in my opinion an obvious omission as stated above.
