There is on MMO with a UI that is light-years ahead of any other.
It is called Horizons and it is fully customizable from within the
game itself. Each window supports many settings, including
transparency, they are resizable, borders and titles can be
modified, new windows created, chat redirected, and many other
things.  As far as UI, no other MMO even comes close from an in-game
perspective.
