Download Blizzard's UI Customization Tool (Follow the Support Tools link on http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/ )
- This direct link should also work.
Run it, click the appropriate button(s)
When it's done look in World of Warcraft/Interface/FrameXML
- Textures are a bunch of .blp files. google for 'blp warcraft'to get an idea of what this means

http://wdn.wowinterface.com keeps a database of all versions of FrameXML online. You can compare different versions to eachother, view the contents of specific files (in a specific interface version), or just download the entire interface as it looked for a given version. Even test server versions are available.

Old instructions for extracting the files (before the release of the above tool) can be found here.
