Even that's an exaggeration. The HIThemeDraw... APIs are not
deprecated, and they are the only way to draw bits of standard UI
elements. For example, I have a custom NSCell that uses HIThemeDrawTrack
() to draw a customised slider. There's no other way to do that.
That said, stay away from any deprecated Carbon API.
