So if the renderer used say, a style named "aaronRadius" to determine the size of the circle, you don't have to change the styleName on the renderer.
If you put a List selector in your styles block with "aaronRadius" in it, it should transfer through to the renderer. You won't be able to use aaronRadius in the <mx:List tag because it isn't defined in the style MetaData, but you could pair your renderer with an AaronList subclass that defines aaronRadius on it, and makes your renderer the default renderer.

The styles I'm mostly talking about are very specific to the item renderer. For example, my renderer has a colored circle in it along with a few other things. I'd like to specify a radius style that can be a specific radius for one list and a different radius for a separate list. Thanks again for taking the time to participate on the list.
