Well, the difference between a "default template" and a "custom 
template" is very subtle.
If you really want to see the difference in XC, you could try this:

# make a custom template a default template (yellow)
xe template-param-set uuid=<uuid> other-config:default_template=true

# make a default template a custom template (blue)
xe template-param-remove uuid=<uuid> param-name=other-config 
param-key=default_template
