Summary	0010081: "Color mode" in a MIDI track has no effect
Description	In the context-menu of the header of a MIDI track the entry "Color mode" has no effect. The notes stay on "Meter color" mode. Not a major issue, but the channel color is quite convenient to have. It affects all rc-versions that I tested, today on v9.0-rc2-13 2025-12-29. See also screenshot attached. The four notes are on channel 1-5-9-13.
Steps To Reproduce	1. make a new MIDI track 2. draw a couple of notes 3. change the channel of one or more notes 4. right-click on the track's header > color mode > channel colors 5. nothing changes The same is true for "Track color"
