No matter which race character you build in WoW, the interface Blizzard provides for you to use is the same. Everyone, Horde and Alliance alike, has the same interface, buttons, inventory slots, and window elements. But WoW is actually quite skinnable, and master Everquest modder Tom King has been creating alternative interfaces with elements related to each race. He completed and released an Undead gothic interface just before Halloween and has just released the "Elfwood" inerface. A fan of the Night Elf race myself, I really like how this looks and will be trying it out soon. He's expected to release two more skins before Christmas.

I expect Blizzard will eventually work this kind of customization into the game itself, probably with the expansion pack. So that a Dwarf character plays with an "Iron" interface by default while a Night Elf character is given the "Elfwood" interface.
