Save Tool Window position globally across projects in IntelliJ

I have my Tool Windows in specific parts of the screen (e.g. Version Control and Terminal occupying half of the bottom part) but every time I open a different project with IntelliJ the window positions are back to the default ones. It also opens windows I don't usually use (e.g. Ant Build).

Is there a way to save those settings globally and not per project?

The Window > Store Current Layout as Default and Window > Restore Default Layout options seem to work, with the extra step of having to Restore Default Layout once whenever I first open a new project.
