95 was my first graphical OS. I did not know: - The "loading bar" image was loaded into and remained fixed in VGA memory. The animation was achieved by cycling the color palette over the area the bar appeared. - Both the loading and shutdown images are 320x400. Conventional VGA is 640x480. The smaller image took advantage of the display to stretch the image into the desired aspect ratio.
