The account menu moved to the top of the screen
Languages, theme, profile, the suggestion box and sign-out have left the sidebar's foot and now live behind one avatar chip at the top of the screen — in the mobile topbar and at the head of the desktop sidebar — opening with a tap.

Until now, changing the panel's language or theme, or signing out, meant travelling to the very bottom of the sidebar. The account menu lived in the sidebar's foot, where the sections list crowded it, and on a phone reaching it meant dragging the menu all the way down. These are things you do rarely but always on purpose — and they had ended up buried under everything else.
All of them now sit behind a single avatar chip at the top of the screen: the first letter of your name in a circle, with a small chevron beside it. On phones and tablets the chip sits in the topbar; on wide screens it sits at the head of the sidebar, next to the logo. It opens with a tap — never a hover, because a menu that opens on hover is a trap on a touch screen — and closes with a click outside it or the Escape key.
What opens is a tidy popover: your account name at the top, then a single row with every language's code — the one you are reading in is marked — beside the light/dark toggle and the panel-skin picker; and below that, Profile, Suggest a feature, Dashboard and Log Out.
The old block at the sidebar's foot is gone entirely, so the sections list now owns the whole column, and reaching "Log Out" no longer means scrolling past every screen. This change began as a suggestion handed in through the "Suggest a feature" door; if a corner of the panel rubs you the wrong way, write yours there too.
