I know you can do this with non-textured windows by calling:

[self setContentBorderThickness:<bottom border width> 
forEdge:NSMinYEdge];

in the -initWithContentRect:styleMask:backing:defer: method of an 
NSWindow subclass.

This will give you a nice beveled bottom bar on the window.

Since textured and non-textured windows are essentially the same in 
Leopard except for the dark gray background this may be an option for 
you.
