This screenshot shows the updated user interface for the
ParentEve 3 major release. The icons on the
toolbar are the most noticeable change; the speed and
fluidity of the graphics has been increased as well so the
application feels faster.

ParentEve 2.3.0 running under Linux, showing the new look
of the Linux version in the 2.3 major release. The look and
feel of the Windows version has not changed, it still uses
the standard Microsoft style (see screenshots below).
The program is showing the new "Edit Scoring" window
which allows you to alter the maximum times which you are prepared
to let people wait. This allows the optimiser to find schedules
which fit your school's policy.

ParentEve 2.2.5 running under Windows, showing the new enhanced
overview pane. The time is printed hourly across the top and thicker
vertical bars are used to show the hour marks.
Down the side of the window, the number of appointments per person
is printed next to their name to make it easier to manually balance
the load on individual people.
Note also that the yellow arrow is greyed out - ParentEve will now
do this when there are no unbooked appointments and all requests have
been satisfied. Also new is the "Report" menu which first
appeared in ParentEve 2.2.1 and allows you to report on teachers,
parents or pupils who have no appointments.

Screenshot of ParentEve 2.1.0 running under Windows. The main pane is
showing an overview of a parents evening. The appointments for the
teachers are shown; blue squares show a booked appointment, white
squares show a free time slot and red squares show a booked appointment
which has too long a gap before it. This allows users to easily
see where a schedule still needs improving.
The tree on the left is showing details of the pupils in a particular
tutor group and a small yellow tooltip window on the right is showing
information about the red appointment square that the mouse is currently
pointing to.

Optimising a schedule in ParentEve 2.1.0 running under Windows.
The overview area shows some teachers at the top and many parents below;
you can see the program leaving five-minute gaps where it can so that
parents have time to get from one appointment to the next.
The tree on the left is showing details of the parents and is
highlighting one particular parent's pupil.

The parent overview of a partially optimised schedule. You can
still see a few red squares left but the score is higher than at the
start and the display is now mostly blue. The tree on the left is
showing the list of teachers.

Screenshot of an older version of ParentEve (version 2.0.2)
running under Linux. The look and feel is the same as the Microsoft
Windows version; the thicker black bars on the overview pane were
standard for the 2.0 series on both Windows and Linux. The 2.0
series did not have data import and so the "Import"
menu is absent.
