Thanks!

There are two small issues:

• The setting is no longer saved correctly.  No matter what I set it
  to, in the configuration file it is saved as “scrollWheelEnabled=1”.
  So I have to redo the setting every time I restart glob2.

• Right now the control in settings is labeled “Scroll Wheel Enabled”
  After your latest fix, this is no longer correct and should instead
  be something like “Unmodified Scroll Wheel Enabled”.

Can these issues please be fixed?

If the values don't change much, then it would be better if the few
values that are actually used got colors that were more distinct.
