Like THEFTman said, you need to make the border in Photoshop or some other image editing program. After that, it's just a matter of making the border image into a title overlay. If you still want to know how to do it, I'll try and make a tutorial.

I don't know if this is easy to understand, but here...

and a video showing the border.

It's not very good at the moment, the overlay can't fade, so if you make multiple borders with different names it will just cut between each border, and not have a nice fade. You could just use the border overlay, and then add names with subtitles, but all the subtitles I have now are too high to fit on my border, and I don't really know how to alter the code to make them low enough to fit on the border right now. I might try to make it better but for now, that's all I have.
