Use edje_cc to create an edje file. Just do a edje_decc on one of the
images above which should create several files (a build.sh an *.edc and
the image file IIRC). If you look at the files it should be fairly
obvious what changes you need to make to the edc file to use a different
image. About randomly changing backgrounds, that's what the slideshow
module does I think.
