ViewGUI
Current version: 0.1b
Speed:
ViewGUI is incredibly fast due to an efficient window sorting method, and Cloggy's amazingly fast d3d plugin.
Here is a screenshot of over 100 overlapped, depth sorted, draggable windows with alpha, and all generating dynamic events running at ~60fps:
Customizeable:
With the dynamic event system, you can tap into the 'window painted' event to draw whatever you want to that particular window, and it will appear in the correct z-depth
Also, each window has its own properties so you can control the entire look of a window without using a single draw command.

Dynamic events:
Utilising IanM's function pointer plugin allows each window to have their own event function which can be changed easily at run-time. A function can handle events of multiple windows and use the sender argument to get a handle on the window that raised the event.
Events that can only happen once per update (such as mousedown) can also be retreived as a variable to avoid complexity.
External DLLs required:
IanM's Matrix1 Utility plugin for function pointers and peek/poke commands
Cloggy's d3d plugin for fast 2d drawing
Todo:

Please post how many windows you get when you run the example (it only creates windows when the framerate is above 60fps)
