MinimWatch forces dedicated graphics on MacBook Pro

As a consequence, my battery drains quite quickly as long as MinimWatch is running (i.e., always).

Can this be changed in any way? After all, it's a bit of an overkill to require a dedicated graphics chip in order to display a menubar item ;-)

Thanks for any help, and kind regards

MinimWatch uses Java Swing to display its user interface. From a quick web search, I found this post that confirms this is a Java Swing issue. I couldn't find a post from anyone who had found a solution.
