1. An image forming apparatus, comprising; an image forming device configured to form an image; a display device configured to display various images in a display area and having a touch panel configured to accept an input to the display area by an input tool, the input representing a command input including at least one of a touch by the input tool on the display area and a movement of the input tool that keeps touching on the display area; and a controller, the image forming apparatus configured to provide a plurality of functions by use of the image forming device,
wherein the controller is configured to control the display device to display, in a first area in the display area of the display device, a plurality of first-function images respectively corresponding to a plurality of first functions, wherein the first area is defined for displaying a displayable number of the plurality of first function images, the number of the plurality of first functions being greater than the displayable number, wherein the controller is configured to control the display device to display, in a second area in the display area of the display device, a plurality of second-function images respectively corresponding to a plurality of second functions, wherein the controller is configured to control the display device to display, in the first area, only the first-function images corresponding to the first functions whose number is smaller than or equal to the displayable number of first-function images, wherein the controller is configured to change the first-function images and not to change the second-function images, in response to acceptance by the touch panel of a command input to the first area that commands changing of the first-function images in a state in which the second-function images and the first-function images are being displayed by the display device, so that at least a part of pre-displayed first-function images is not displayed, the pre-displayed first-function images being the first-function images that had been displayed by the display device when the touch panel accepted the command input to the first area, there are displayed the first-function images corresponding to at least a part of the first functions not corresponding to any of the pre-displayed first-function images, and the second-function images that had been displayed by the display device when the touch panel accepted the command input to the first area are kept displayed by the display device after the touch panel accepted the command input to the first area, wherein the controller is configured such that, in response to acceptance by the touch panel of a command input that the input tool touches one of the second-function images in the state in which the second-function images and the first-function images are being displayed by the display device, the controller controls the display device to display a screen for providing one of the second functions corresponding to the one of the second-function images touched by the input tool, and wherein the controller is configured such that, in response to acceptance by the touch panel of a command input that the input tool touches one of the first-function images in the state in which the second-function images and the first-function images are being displayed by the display device, the controller controls the display device to display a screen for providing one of the first functions corresponding to the one of the first-function images touched by the input tool. |
