To move some of these windows around it seems like I gotta like, scale them across my monitor to get them where I want them lol

They made it work that way because that's how the Velious UI worked. Movable windows were a kind of new idea and it was not a mature implementation. No direct mana value is also classic. Six hotbuttons 'till Velious opens are specifically mentioned in the recent patch notes.

It seems likely (though not absolutely certain) we'll be able to use multiple chat windows. At numerous times in the past the server staff has indicated that they're not willing to disable that particular feature because it'd make their own duties too cumbersome. Non-classic item links have been left active all these years for the same reason and I would not be shocked to see them on 'green' too.
------------------------------
Note that the "Velious UI" P99 has isn't actually the Velious UI, just a custom UI designed to resemble the Velious-era interface as much as possible. There are numerous detail differences such as the equipment screen and spellbook, but its a pretty decent re-creation given the need to work on the Titanium client. I don't think the Titanium client allows for a practical implementation of the pre-expansion periscope-window UI; at least in ten years here nobody's made a good one and I've never seen an automatic way of setting the viewport properly either.
