Description

### Bug Summary
Menu for Mixer-assignment has a confusing design. Light-grey menu options are normally regarded as _'greyed-out'_ items.
In this menu they are to be regarded as headlines for different containers.
On top of this, it is very difficult to read the tiny grey letters

#### Steps to reproduce
Right-click any preset in sidebar

#### Expected behavior
Clean and obvious menu in coherence with other software

#### Actual behavior

#### Affected LMMS versions
at least 1.3

#### suggested/ mockup
