Boot animations - the HTC EVO splash screen

[FractalSphere]

Boot animations aside (easy enough to drop in a bootanimation.zip and an .mp3 file) but I want to change the HTC EVO splash screen, specifically I want to just color reverse it - black background with white letters, so it doesn't light up the whole room if I reboot the phone.

Not sure where that file was stored - surely it's a JPG or PNG file that could be easily edited...

Finally got this done! Had a hiccup with it not writing to my flash partition, but loaded the engineering version of the bootloader, and then once I updated that it got stuck in the bootloader reboot cycle but ultimately got it back by nand restoring from my image and just re-doing the boot animation and splash screen.

nandroid backups and getting to know adb command line details saved my butt!!

Thanks Android Central and XDA Forums for having many answers and smart folks to help those of us still learning.
