Making textured windows pretty

Hello all,
The GUI designer of the project i'm working on wants me to create a window with the "brushed metal" appearance. I have two problems with this:

NSTableViews and NSTextViews have a pretty weak-looking gray frame around them. We want to emphasise this line by drawing a small bevel around these controls, but for various reasons we cannot subclass the actual views to do this. Is it possible to make a subclass of NSView and replace the root-level view of the window to do this?

We also want the bottom of the window to be rectangular rather than rounded, like in Safari. Does anyone know how Apple did this?

Thanks in advance
/Fabian
