Prior to HITheme APIs, there was the Appearance Manager, which had

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.
