Gap at top when subclassing NSScroller?

Hello,

I am attempting to subclass NSScroller for use in a
fullscreen textview/scrollview window, and I want an
old-school square look to it - just a simple black
background with a coloured rectangular knob and the
arrows, the whole thing with no more than two colours
(eg. black background with yellow knob and arrows).

On testing this out, I have achieved exactly what I
want for the most part, except that there is a gap of
a few pixels at the top of the scroller. The
rectangular scroll bar will simply not go all the way
to the top of the scroll slot - it stops a few pixels
short. This is probably to be expected, as if you look
at the defalt OS X NSScroller, there is a gap at the
top that is drawn as a silver "slot" that the blue
curved knob fits snugly into.

My question is, how do I get rid of this gap? It does
not look right when using a rectangular bar instead of
one with rounded ends... I cannot find any methods
that control this - I have tried overriding
rectForPart: to no avail.

Here is my test NSScroller subclass so far:

@implementation MyScroller

// Colour the knob slot black
- (void)drawRect:(NSRect)rect
{
	[[NSColor blackColor] set];
	[NSBezierPath fillRect:[self
rectForPart:NSScrollerKnobSlot]]; //rect];
	[self drawKnob];
	[self drawArrow:NSScrollerIncrementArrow
highlight:NO];
}

// Draws a square green knob
- (void)drawKnob
{
	NSRect knobRect = [self rectForPart:NSScrollerKnob];
	[[NSColor greenColor] set];
	[NSBezierPath fillRect:knobRect];
}

// Draws two yellow and black boxes where the arrows
should be
- (void)drawArrow:(NSScrollerArrow)arrow
highlight:(BOOL)flag
{
	NSRect arrowRect = [self
rectForPart:NSScrollerIncrementLine];
	[[NSColor yellowColor] set];
	[NSBezierPath fillRect:arrowRect];

	arrowRect.origin.x += 1.0;
	arrowRect.size.width -= 2.0;
	arrowRect.origin.y += 2.0;
	arrowRect.size.height -= 3.0;
	[[NSColor blackColor] set];
	[NSBezierPath fillRect:arrowRect];

	arrowRect = [self
rectForPart:NSScrollerDecrementLine];
	[[NSColor yellowColor] set];
	[NSBezierPath fillRect:arrowRect];

	arrowRect.origin.x += 1.0;
	arrowRect.size.width -= 2.0;
	arrowRect.origin.y += 1.0;
	arrowRect.size.height -= 1.0;
	[[NSColor blackColor] set];
	[NSBezierPath fillRect:arrowRect];
}

@end

Many thanks for any help or suggestions,
Keith
