In the General > Model Element Type drop down list, select the element, which default properties you want to customize.
In the Edit Button dialog, open the Element Properties tab.
Select the Specify own values radio button. Now change the default property values of the chosen element.
Create a new element from the customized diagram toolbar and the element default properties will be the same as you had defined.
