I tried the modifications you attached here, and it doesn't really
appeal to me as particularly modern. It's not bad either, though.
What would actually be an improvement would be to make NS and W32 draw
boxes with a relief in the "pretty" way that X, PGTK and Haiku do. Does
anyone want to work on this? The relevant canonical code is in
`x_draw_relief_rect', but if you're porting it to another platform I
think `haiku_draw_relief_rect' would be easier to understand.

That would waste precious screen space, wouldn't it?
Thanks.
