-I. `Structure of a graphical application`_.
+I. `About Graphical User Interfaces`_.
If we look through the code of some of the many open source applications
available, we can find most of them share a common structure. This chapter
introduces the reader to said structure, to the concept of an Event loop and

+I.II. `Introduction to Edje`_.
Edje is a compromise between flexibility and development time. Comparing it to
a plain canvas or a fully featured toolkit can show us how it fits in the
middle ground and provides advantages for designers and developers alike.
-II.I. `The foundations`_.
+I.III. `The foundations`_.
Edje allows low level control of the interface without forcing the developer
through a low level API. The interface objects are implemented as Evas objects,
but through a completely new language friendly to designers and independent
from the application code.
-II.II. `Convenient libraries`_
+I.IV. `Convenient libraries`_
To load an Edje interface the application needs to setup an Evas canvas first.
This would look as a burden for the developer, dealing with issues specific to
the underlying system. Thankfully Evas is supported by an additional library
that resolve most of these issues, Ecore.

+II.II. `Interacting with the objects`_.
There are different channels for the application to interact with the
interface. For the sake of brevity I will include an example of each one to
serve as an introduction for the practical examples to come in the next
chapters.

Interfaces need to resolve two problems, presenting information to users and
taking orders from them. The past chapters presented enough information to
-solve the first. In the following chapters we will review the second. The
-widget itself can be seen as a small application inside our interfaces. As an
-example let's examine the structure of a common widget, the combox.

+III.I. `Widgets with Edje`_.
+Since this is a book about Edje it might be a good idea to detail the way Edje
+simplifies custom widget creation by reviewing the list of tasks presented in
+the previous chapter and how Edje helps with each task.
