1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processor of an electronic device to cause the processor to:
- control to provide blocks associated with a plurality of applications on a screen of the electronic device, wherein a size or a shape of each of the blocks is changeable based on a corresponding input, one of the blocks provides first information and is provided in a first shape, and another of the blocks is also provided in the first shape;
based on an input on the one of the blocks, control to enter an edit mode by providing an edit menu object for providing a first option for changing a shape of only the one of the blocks and a second option for changing a size of only the one of the blocks;
during the edit mode;
based on an input on the first option, providing a list of shapes;
based on a selection of a shape among the list of shapes, control to change the first shape of the one of the blocks to a second shape different from the first shape, and provide the edit menu object with the one of the blocks, of which the first shape is changed to the second shape; and
based on an input on the second option, control to change a first size of the one of the blocks, of which the first shape is changed to the second shape, to a second size different from the first size, provide second information on the one of the blocks, of which the first shape is changed to the second shape and the first size is changed to the second size, the second information being different from the first information, and provide the edit menu object with the one of the blocks, of which the first shape is changed to the second shape and the first size is changed to the second size; and
based on exiting the edit mode, control to provide the one of the blocks in the second shape and the second size with the other of the blocks in the first shape on the screen of the electronic device.

Abstract
A function for configuring a screen reflecting user preference is implemented when formlets are displayed to indicate function items of a mobile communication terminal. The size, position and shape of a formlet on which an indicator is positioned are changed by user settings in a state in which multiple formlets are displayed, thereby increasing accessibility to a formlet of high preference to a user and also increasing display visibility.
