Hi Saur0n..

First welcome to CGTalk...

1. Create a new sub shader folder under provided shader library folder (ie project_1)
2. Copy one of .mayaSwatches folder (from provided shader library folder) to your new project_1 folder
Now project_1 has new sub folder named .mayaSwatches

Note : you cannot create new folder named .mayaSwatches, so thats why you need to copy pasted from another shader library folder

3. Delete all files on those new pasted .mayaSwatches folder
4. Create and Export your new shader to your new project_1 shaders folder (ie my_new_shader.ma) [dont put it to your new .mayaSwatches folder]
5. Create a JPG icon for those shaders, you can use snapshot render or photoshop to create cool icons (ie 32x32 pix) 5-12KB should be fine
6. Save it to your new .mayaSwatches folder and rename it to my_new_shader.ma.swatch

Note : The name should match, except .swatch for icons

Then you'll have you're own shaders gallery with cool icons, and you can create another shaders gallery :cool:
Tricky ehh...:blush: well..it works fine here (Maya 4.0) :)
