The color of your Steam Profile Picture border can be changed by editing a value using java script.
By editing this value (SteamCommunity.PersonaStateFlag) using a tool to run it, you can change the color around your name from blue to gold:

This supposed "Golden border" is a leftover from the "2014 Winter Background Winners" that have gotten a Winter Background from winning a contest. this included a golden border around their profile picture.

Its not get the steam community ban. Because my friend using this tool and he got golden border and name after I report him on steam profile and after 1-2 min he turn back without ban. Maybe he will get community banned soon. But not now.

edit: But I cant really understand why people using this tool? On the name ''tool'', not legal. This ''BUG'' will be corrected soon. So why people take risky! They probably thinking VALVE cant fix it and they use GOLDEN NAME FOR FOREVER... HA-HA-HA, GL for anyone doing

I still don't care enough to RISK any type of infraction for something so meaningless. People only did it to impress their friends. That isn't something I care about
