# Global directives for Plot-options [closed]

How can I set an option like

TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12]


notebook-wide, so that it is used for any Plot and ListPlot in my notebook?

Default:

GraphicsRow[{Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2 Pi}], ListPlot[Range[6]]}]


To set global options:

SetOptions[{Plot, ListPlot}, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12]];


then

GraphicsRow[{Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2 Pi}], ListPlot[Range[6]]}]
