Layout XL: how to set default options for Selection Protection?

Hello! Is it possible to set somewhere the default options for the Selection Protection feature in Layout XL (the ones under "Edit->Select->Selection Protection Options...")?

Every time I open a new layout window I need to set these, which becomes cumbersome.

I tried looking on the .cdsenv settings but had no luck. In case there are no variables to control these, is there any way to set them through skill? For instance, I tried the following but it doesn't work:

procedure( mySetSelProtectionHighlight()
    geSetSelProtectionHighlightOptionForm()
    hiiSetCurrentForm('_geProtectOptionsForm)
    _geProtectOptionsForm->geHlWidth->value= "thin"
    hiFormDone(_geProtectOptionsForm)
);

...I'm interested to know if the latter approach for settings things via code would work, as it would allow us to automate many other things!

Thanks in advance,

Jorge.
