Hi everyone,

I’ve created a custom `NewAppSlicer` build using Kitware’s 3D Slicer source. Everything is working great, but I’m running into a UI customization issue.

From the **View \> Toolbars** menu, I want to **permanently hide** some specific toolbars in my custom build:

- Mouse Interaction
- Capture/Restore
- Crosshair Selection
- Extensions
- Markups
- Sequence Browser  
I’ve tried hiding them in `qNewSlicerAppMainWindowPrivate::setupUi()` using the following:  
this-\>MouseModeToolBar-\>setVisible(false);  
this-\>CaptureToolBar-\>setVisible(false);  
this-\>ViewToolBar-\>setVisible(false);  
// … and others  
Despite no build errors, after compiling and running the app, **these toolbars still appear** in the toolbar list and show up in the UI.

### What I’ve Tried:

- Verified the toolbar object names (e.g., `MouseModeToolBar`, `CaptureToolBar`)
- Added `setVisible(false)` calls
- Rebuilt from scratch and cleared CMake cache

### What I Need Help With:

- The correct internal object names for toolbars like **Markups** , **Extensions** , and **Sequence Browser**
- Whether hiding them in `setupUi()` is the right approach
- Any other reliable way to **remove/hide these toolbars** by default so users don’t see or re-enable them

I’d really appreciate any tips or code examples from someone who has customized the Slicer UI at this level.

Thanks in advance!
