Actually I do try to be innovative when it comes to UIs, and functionality is still my highest priority. I spent ages thinking how I could bring secondary power bars and other class-related things into my UI so that they're as functional as possible while still matching the style.
Sometimes I just look at my UI and think 'what could make this more functional while still being cool', and not 'how could I add moar pixel borders'.
I may have bored people to tears with my Blizz window skinning but I like to think it's original as well, in a way. The entire thing uses about 50-70kb memory and it still looks good.
