How to change cakephp default.ctp layout directory?

Question

Individually I am able to change cakephp default layout by using controller.For example I have used

public function login() {
    $this->layout="make";  //here I have changed layout for single action

        if ($this->request->is('post')) {
            //some code...
        } 
   }

Here I have changed layout!! But the problem is this layout is not default.I want to apply this layout for all controller.How can I do this?

In your AppController

public function beforeRender() {
    parent::beforeRender();

    $this->layout = 'custom';
}
