[yourTextFieldCell setBackgroundStyle:NSBackgroundStyleRaised];

This method was introduced in 10.5. If you require Tiger compatibility, you can use NSShadow but you'll be losing subpixel antialiasing.

Alternately, you can use BWInsetTextField which is part of the BWToolkit IB plugin: http://brandonwalkin.com/bwtoolkit/

I know there was a discussion about this a few months ago on this list, but I cannot find the right terms to search for. The discussion was how to draw text so that it was sunken much like you see in the toolbar. I just remember there was a specific way recommended to do it and I can't find it. Drawing the text twice is more of a shadow effect, so I don't think that was it...
