Yellow Name Obtained From Chinese New Year Occasion

Yellow names are one of the features Steam is giving out to players for its 2019 Lunar New Year sale. While Steam does occasionally offer name color-changing cosmetics as part of special events, they are usually for a limited time, and usually for a fee. At the time of writing, Steam did not hold a special event to change the username color.

Are There Different Ways to Change Your Nickname to Yellow?

Users on the community site claim that yellow nicknames have been available since 2017 and there is a level requirement, or yellow nicknames are reserved for starred users. Other users tell people that there is a simple way to change the nickname to yellow by adding a symbol (^) with a number as the code for a certain color.

What Do Colors Represent on Steam?

While the basic colors (blue and green) have special meanings behind them, yellow doesn’t – contrary to popular belief, the name yellow is just a cast. There is no minimum level required to get it or a badge required.

In contrast, the more common nickname colors blue and green represent a player’s activity status.

Nickname green

Green means you or people on your friends list are online. They are most likely ready to play or already in the game. If they are in the game, you will see the name of the game next to their green nickname.

Blue Nickname

Blue nickname means your friend is offline and away from computer. This color can also represent the “standby” status. However, this does not mean they are away as players can change their activity status and stay online even with a blue nickname. When Steam organizes your friends list by activity status, the blue user will be at the bottom, even if they are online.

How to Change Your Background Color?

If you want to customize your Steam profile even more, apart from having a yellow nickname, you can also change your background color. To do this you will need Steam points which can be earned for real money, or a friend can send them to you as a gift. In the latter case, rewards can be earned by interacting in the Steam community and submitting reviews.

Plus, for every dollar you spend on Steam, you get 100 points. You can find all your Steam points in your profile bank.

Here’s how to change the background color using Steam dots:

Launch the app Steam.
Go to your profile.
Click “Edit profile.”
Find “Steam points shop” on the left menu panel.
Tap the “Background” option.
Add the desired background to your Steam profile.

Apart from changing your background color in Steam, you can customize it even further and add a specific background from the Steam app. The most important thing to know here is that you can’t add your own images, from the PC, but only choose from those already on Steam.

Your profile background can be set to full screen and original size. If you really like your new background, put it full screen to display. You can adjust these settings in the profile background settings menu.

Apart from that, themes can also be set for your Steam account. They can be Midnight, Summer, and Cosmic. You can find it in the same settings menu you opened to customize the background, only this time you need to open the “Themes” option.
