Is there a way to add gradient to presets?

I'm in agreement with you Diarmaid.  I just did a search and found a thread that Maureen Dunlap asked how to do this (6 years ago), and yet still nada squat.  We should get this free as an update in SL3, or do we need to shell out another $1500 for a NEW squirt of the tooth paste? 

I made a slide and added a shape, 10 or 20 if you like.  Sampled a logo (or anything for that matter that you want consistency) and save that slide as lets say Coca Cola or my gradients.  Import that slide into your new course, kinda like a side pallett thing'e.  Copy and paste here you go and use format painter.  When doing states it's really a PITA for reasons.... it's a state.
