    Both the spinning dots and the progressive ring are actually characters in a font called "Segoe Boot Semilight"
    What if you were to overwrite or change that font? Would that in turn change the image at the load screen since that is where it is pulling the graphic from?

    According to a ms advisor, the spinning dots are an XAML Animation contained within a windows .dll. Of course they're not going to say which one\ones. Sounds like something that any alteration\customization would probably get wiped out in a future update.
