I'd like to recommend not doing this. Apple changes their UI often,
as if on a whim. If you have custom code to fake the latest crazy
whim by one of Apple's management, then when Apple realizes the new
look looks silly, your app will seem horribly outdated.
For example, look at many of the applications that came about around
the 10.0 and 10.1 timeframe or use that look (Microsoft Office). They
look horribly outdated because they used custom graphics to mimic the
ugly pinstripe look in 10.0. Other apps got the new UI automatically,
but not applications that used custom graphics.
Also, HITheme.h, ftw.

It should be pretty easy. Subclass NSScroller and override the
appropriate drawing methods. I know this might be a shameless plug but
you will probably find code that I have just released quite useful. Go
to cocoalatte.info and download the code from my latest post on the
topic of ArtistKit. It contains code that should make it easier to do
the drawing you want.
