Yes, it'll update everyone's friends lists with the username change provided you're logged in when you change your name (otherwise it will just update for everyone next time you login).
I'm also working out how to make this accessible easily from ingame. We did a vote in this thread a while back for a steam-like overlay (accessible/toggleable with a hotkey) so I'm thinking this would be the best idea. Since it isn't contained into one window like the IRC was - are people more keen on one window per chat + a window for the friend list or would they like something like one window with tabs for each person you're talking to + a window for the friend list?
Marcem:
I'd rather have tabs. Within a game, it seems to be one of the best options.
Destiny/Zack0Wack0:
What if you could like drag the tabs to make a window then drag them back to put them back into a tab, like Google Chrome.

I thought about it but it'd really have to be done with mouse events and those don't work too well layered on top of eachother. I may just end up having an option to stack messages in a single window or use a new window for each person - it depends how many people would actually like individual windows.
Chrono:
I wouldn't be using the individual windows.
Hope my input helps.
