A processing device having a graphical user interface includes a touch screen display that receives touch gesture commands from a vehicle operator and a controller. In operation, computer code implements a set of widgets such that at least one widget is normally viewable on the touch screen display. The set of widgets are organized to include at least one home screen, such as a motion home screen that displays at least one travel related widget, a lift home screen that displays at least one lift related widget, etc. When a current operating state of a control module of the industrial vehicle indicates that a designated control is engaged, the controller causes the display to snap to the associated home screen position.
