Applying track colors automatically

In the Preferences dialog (Event Display–Tracks page), you can find the “Auto Track Color Mode” option.

This offers you several options for automatically assigning colors to tracks that are added to the project. The following options are available:

Use Default Track Color: The default color (gray) is assigned.
Use Previous Track Color: Analyzes the color of the selected track and uses the same color for the new track.
Use Previous Track Color +1: Analyzes the color of the selected track and uses the color that comes next in the color palette for the new track.
Use Last Applied Color: Uses the color that is selected in the Select Colors pop-up menu.
Use Random Track Color: Uses the color palette as a basis to assign track colors randomly.
