Bulk changes in Folder & Sub-folder Displays (Margins, default tile size, etc.)

I'd like to know if there's a bulk way to set some display settings on, say, all the sub-folder displays that are in one category. I have categories (Top folders) like http://www.winsomeworks.com/Travel with lots of sub-folders like this: http://www.winsomeworks.com/Travel/Tibet . I'd love to do at least a default setting of tile size and margins for their grid display, & possibly even ratio ( like 4:3), and have that default work on a whole Folder or Sub-folder.
Otherwise, I'd have to go into 20 different sub-folder display pages in just that one Top folder (multiplied byin order to do settings that could be defaults. If I had to do a few individually for some reason, like it needs a portrait style grid, that's not a big deal. But I haven't found a way to do that type of default action on one Top folder or sub-folder. Multiply that by 13 or so top folders...eeeek!

If "all folders" is highlighted, the boxes you see out on the page are on all folder pages.
If you have multiple boxes, each box can be set differently and apply on all folder pages.
For any Folder page you want different you'd have to make that folder "Just This Folder".

That said, there is a way to use CSS to 'flow down' customization to subfolders and galleries within a folder though. There's more info about that here. That may be an option you can explore.

page how you want it for all those sub-folders.
Hide the new widget everywhere then use the parentnode to display new flowing down from the
parent folder. Also hide the default widget flowing down from parent.
/* hide special new widget everywhere */
.sm-page-widget-2xxxxxx {display:none}
/* hide default site wide from flowing down from parent */
.sm-page-parentnode-XXXXX .sm-page-widget-1xxxxxx {display:none}
/* show new flowing down from parent */
.sm-page-parentnode-XXXXX .sm-page-widget-2xxxxxx {display:block}

page there are two widgets, one for sub-folders and other for galleries and pages or combinations.
Also maybe CSS and html widgets. Or any other widget you want to drag out there including a breadcrumb.
You could add another sub-folder widget. Which would be set to your special different style. You then
hide this 2nd sub-folder widget everywhere and show it only on the your parent Travel? folder with
CSS. That would give you that different style. Also hide the default folder widget on your parent Travel? folder page.
