I put the following tikzpicture, borrowed from https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/86310/10898, in my beamer title page.

Nevertheless, I would like to try two things. On one hand, put the tikzfigure in an horizontal way with respect to the page, and if posible, in the second case reduce the width of the title colorbox.

Any hints in order to proceed???. Your help will be highly appreciated!

UPDATED:

I tried with the rotating package for my first question but i didn't succeed. While for my second question, i used this code \setbeamertemplate{title page}[default][rounded=true,shadow=true,wd=0.8\textwidth] and now the colorbox is shorter, however it is not centered.

Here's one possibility; adjust the settings according to your needs:

\documentclass[8pt,onlymath,usenames,dvipsnames]{beamer}

\usepackage{tikz}                         
\definecolor{titlecolor}{RGB}{0,173,239}

  \mode<presentation>{
    \usetheme{Warsaw}
    \usefonttheme{structurebold}
    \setbeamerfont{title}{family={\fontfamily{ppl}},series=\bfseries,size=\LARGE,shape=\itshape}

    \definecolor{steelblue3}{rgb}{0.31,0.58,0.8}
    \colorlet{structure}{steelblue3}
    \usecolortheme[named=steelblue3]{structure}

    \setbeamercovered{transparent}

    \definecolor{skyblue3}{rgb}{0.42,0.65,0.8} 
    \setbeamercolor{blocks}{fg=black,bg=skyblue3}

    \definecolor{purple4}{rgb}{0.33,0.1,0.55}
    \setbeamercolor{alerted text}{fg=purple4}

    \setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}

    \let\Tiny=\tiny
    \setbeamersize{text margin left=0.4cm,text margin right=0.4cm}
    }

enter image description here

The width for the beamercolorbox used for the title is now controlled by the width of a \parbox and it is set initially to 0.75\paperwidth; you can change this value in the line marked with % change the width here.
