Ui Pattern's and methodologys?

The question i have is made in a loose or general sense. As every time i try to write a ui i just feel like it sucks.

What sort of patterns do you guys use or think should be used for Ui ?
What sort of patterns do you think work the best to keep it decoupled and adaptable?

To say do you think the composite pattern is a good starting point or some other is best. Do you mix patterns and if so which do you choose ?.
I have been trying to prototype a good pattern for UI but this is like my Achilles heel.

For example this is my latest idea but im not to sure about it no matter how i try to design my ui it never feels right. Id like to hear others input.

    // pseudo ui schema 
    //
    //abtract BaseElement
    //{
    //   LocalPosition
    //   Action OnClick;
    //   Action OnOver;
    //   Action OnAwaitingInput;
    //   //ect.
    //}
    //
    // ConteteElement_A : BaseElement{
    //   LocalPosition
    //   OnClick;
    //   OnOver;
    //   //ect.
    //}
    //
    //
    //abtract BaseButton
    //{
    //   list<BaseButton> children;
    //   list <BaseElement> baseElements;
    //   list <rectangle> elementsDrawnPosition
    //   // deals with positions and depths
    //   abstract void IterateChanges(int n);
    //}
    //
    // Abstract Group : BaseButton
    //{
    //
    //}
    //
    // Abstract Leaf : BaseButton
    //{
    //
    //}
    //
    // ConcreteA_Panel : Group{
    //  // has children
    //  // defines element list
    //}
    //
    // ConcreteB_List : Group{
    //  // has children
    //  // defines element list
    //}
    //
    // ConcreteC_ClickButton : Leaf{
    //  // cant have children
    //  // defines element list
    //}
