New toolbar system in Rhino 8
Rhino 8 uses a new toolbar system very different from the previous versions. The default toolbars are read-only and embedded in the Rhino app. Changes made to the default toolbars are stored in the associated xml file in:
~/Library/Application Support/McNeel/Rhinoceros/8.0/settings/Scheme__Default
Linked toolbar files (*.rui) also have the xml files if their toolbars were ever edited. Deleting the xml file restores the original toolbars in the rui file.

The default RUI is embedded in the Rhino app. It cannot be closed, but you can uncheck all the toolbars in it if you don't use them.
