Changing menu bar, window border color w/ Appearance Manager

Is there a decent way to change the colors of the menu bar/window borders/etc. on Mac OS 9? There were tools for older versions e.g. Greg's Buttons. I'm guessing this isn't possible with Appearance Manager.

Or, could someone point me towards a resource on doing this with an Appearance Manager theme? I'm willing to edit things myself, but I want it to still be based on the Platinum look rather than starting from scratch and there don't seem to be many resources on doing that. Theme Machine won't open up Apple Platinum as it seems like it's basically a stub. Is there a better place to start than just ripping everything out from Finder using ResEdit? Seems painful.
