1. A portable terminal comprising:
a touch panel display displaying information and detecting a touch to the touch panel display; and
a controller executing programs stored in a memory,
wherein the controller is configured to:
generate a home screen that includes icons, and
switch an arrangement state of the icons from a first arrangement state to a second arrangement state by detecting that a strength of a touch pressure is more than a predetermined strength,
wherein in the first arrangement state, the icons are arranged vertically and horizontally in a matrix shape,
wherein in the second arrangement state, the icons are arranged in a circular shape, and
wherein, the controller is further configured to:
while detecting a held touch on the touch panel display in the second arrangement state, rotate the icons along with the circular shape a predetermined time interval, and
