Feature: Settings Import/Export and UI Polish

- Implemented JSON-based settings import/export with smart scaling

- Locked image overlay color to Red (#ff0000) permanently

- Decoupled analyzer target color from display mask color

- Added menu separators for better organization

- Fixed overlay synchronization and scaling bugs during import
