You can make a startup screen with animated bar with Coolbar Animator (freeware - http://www.dati.cz/~tomas/coolbar/ ). That should help you change it too.

Well, it is not exactly a registry tweak, but a file change. It needs to edit the c:\logo.sys file as a BMP file, and perhaps to change a byte or two with a hex editor to allow the color animation.

See, for example,
http://www.nucleus.com/~kmcmurdo/win95logo.html
for a page giving instructions do change a logo by hand.
