What you want is possible, but you'll have to make a subclass of NSTextFieldCell, and then use that subclass in your NSTextField. The key methods you want override are drawingRectForBounds:, selectWithFrame:, and editWithFrame:

Here is a blog post from the fantastic Daniel Jalkut about this, he even includes a downloadable version ready to go. The post is fairly old but it should still work fine.
