I dropped off the track how you have it currently, but here is a link to an
example howto save Style object to your control's Viewstate. Instead of
passing the style to ViewState straight, you use it's IStateManager
interface implementation to let the style itself save/load/track the state
and let the control put/take that state data to/from Viewstate and hand to
the style object.

Instead of passing the object to Viewstate, let it hand you the state, and
put only that state to Viewstate (saves CPU cycles as entire object doesn't
need to be serialized plus that Binary serialization is slow). Anyway here's
an example of a control I wrote which uses custom style and saves its data
to control's Viewstate
