How to change track colors using script?

Hello VEGAS Community.

I'm trying to write a script that changes the color of all tracks in a project based on what kind of track it is (i.e. video tracks get color 1, audio tracks get color 2), but I've run into a surprising amount of difficulty so far. I'm suspecting that from what I can find in the scripting API, maybe this isn't possible by design, but I want to ask here in case.

The idea is that if this is doable, then I could rewrite the script into an extension that sets the track's color the moment it's added. Is there anything I'm missing or is this simply not allowed?

Thank you in advance.

First of all, you have to look at "VideoTrack" to see the "TrackColor" option (you can't see it on "Track" or "AudioTrack".)

Then the "TrackColor" parameter is read only so you can't change the track colors with a script.
