Unusual request. But you can do it by selectively disable the theming for the control. Add a new class to your project and paste the code shown below. Compile. Drop the new control from the top of the toolbox onto your form.

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

class SunkenTextBox : TextBox {
  protected override void CreateHandle() {
    base.CreateHandle();
    SetWindowTheme(this.Handle, "", "");
  }
  [System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("uxtheme.dll")]
  private static extern void SetWindowTheme(IntPtr hWnd, string appname, string idlist);
}

Just add the Microsoft Forms textbox Control to your toolbox.

You need to remove the Application.EnableVisualStyles() call from your Program.cs file.
