We have inserts for our lewmar portholes. They click into place and the porthole can be operated normally with them in place. Cost was about €25 each from (I think) Seateach. Use them in Scotland for the midges and they have done a good job for the last three seasons.
There are similar available for Gebo portholes but they are very expensive. We recently got "generic" to try on the gebo at the London boat show on the bais that if they do not fit we can return them.
They are in the maileed marine brochure.

On the inward opening cabin windows I use fibre fly wire screens, just cut to size and held on with long life masking tape. Not a permanent solution but works fine for for a few days.

On our SO45DS cabin windows (that open into the cabin from the cockpit) we use the covers sold by Force4.
These are nets with a sucker that sticks to the glass and hold to net against the outer frame. Bit expensive, but they do the job well.
Used the same nets for the last two years. Still going strong.
