Prior to HITheme APIs, there was the Appearance Manager, which had a similar mission--allow developers to render the Aqua controls-- but existed all the way back OS 8 (and I think you could install it onto 7.6 as an extension, as well...?).

I think it has some limitations in the OS X world--e.g. there are controls which it can't render--but it might be worth investigating for the ultimate in compatibility.

The biggest problem of the old Appearance Manager APIs is that they use QuickDraw for drawing, so you need to have a QD port around. This is not a huge problem for Carbon, but in Cocoa it would force you to use an NSQuickDrawView, unless there is another method of getting a QD port.

I believe you could do [myWindow windowRef] and then GetWindowPort, but I haven't tested this.
