Animated Dots Underneath Windows XP Professional

[RBCC]

Can I use an animated gif for the dots in the Windows XP Boot Screen?

Do you mean dots on Setup screen? If so, I use Resource Hacker. Only Bitmaps are supported.

[RBCC]

Yes, But how do They Animate? Also Can I replacen them With Something else such as arrows? Also Where do I download Animated Bitmaps? Whew!

No, you can't use animated GIFs. The boot logo is 640x480x256colors bitmap.

And the moving bar beneath it (the progress-bar-like line underneath the logo) which is what you want to change - is also a BMP that is simply run across some distance. You can of course replace that with your own dots!
