Fancontrol uses gpu memory even when minimized to system tray

I noticed that if fan control is open it constantly reserves 100MB of dedicated GPU memory, even when the window is minimized. The only way to free up the memory is to close it entirely.

It would be nice if there were a way to entirely unload the UI while still retaining fan control, or at least a way to disable GPU acceleration of the UI so that this becomes normal memory usage and not gpu memory usage

It's a pretty minor thing but for users that want to work with LLMs especially on smaller devices, this can be the difference between fitting a model in vram or not.

Closing the window (X) will leave fancontrol working, it doesn't close the process. There is still a tray icon active at the bottom right to bring the window back up.
