AMOS: Overlaying different layers with ALS
Simone 'saimo' Bevilacqua has written "ALS", the AMOS Layers System, which "turns the screens of AMOS Professional into layers that can be laid over one another, with complete control of order, colors and opaqueness, while keeping them renderable as usual." (video).
It was written in AMOS and thus is available as a source code library.
