Do you have any screenshots demonstrating the border style you're
looking for?  (Or better yet, the name of the Appearance Manager
API routine used to draw them? :-)

I can't find any Aqua apps or controls that have "solid"
(in the Tk/Motif sense) borders; most use rounded corners,
or in some cases solid horizontal separators.

The Tile Aqua theme inherits the default *.border element,
which in turn just calls Tk_Draw3DBorder, where the border color
for TK_RELIEF_SOLID is hardcoded to black.  But I've got more border 
styles than you can shake a stick at over in the half-bakery [*], 
one of them will probably work.
