This "Bug" or whatever it is, happened once again to me, luckily my last backup was 2 hours ago, but it's still annoying not knowing whether you will be able to open your shader ever again once you close the shaderforge window, though...!
Whenever i try to open the shader, the shaderforge windows just stays grey and I get the following:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Warning said: "Your shader might not render properly on your workstation - you need to have Direct3D 11 enabled when working in DX11 mode on Windows. Click the icon to enable Direct3D 11!" So not really helpful for me... :D Quality/Player settings didn't help much either.

But I found a way to overcome my problem:
I just duplicated the ".shader"-file in my explorer folder and also created a new material using that duplicated shader. For some reasons the new material finally displays in the game window.
The old shader still won't display though.

Don't know if it's a Unity or Shaderforge Bug, I leave this info here anyway :D
The previewed Mesh is just a Triangle shaped out of quads.
Have found another way to achieve my goal, still didn't figure out why it wasn't working the way shown above.
