All paroli application is using its own .edj file.
The edje file contains several "group" where you organize a
gui using "part" and "program" elements.

When you create a widnow you specify which .edj file to use, and
from that .edj file you can obtain the groups elements as objects,
and manipulate them.

However I dont see how can it be done, to have two .edj files for one
app. Maybe it is not possible at all. Anyway needs serious research.

By the way having each application a background image, needs
some work on the theme. Because many elements have simply plain
black background. So it is lot of work...

Having animated background can be done. Have a look at tween property
of IMAGE in .edc reference:
