How can I hide the module GUI panel?

I was able to hide all the bars but can’t hide the GUI with this welcome label on the left.

Usually we keep the module panel displayed, showing a custom module GUI, but you can hide it entirely very easily:

```python
mainWindow().findChild('QDockWidget','PanelDockWidget').hide()

```
