I just downloaded and tried the new Rhino 9 Beta… and it took me 1-2 min to dismiss it.
A toolbar (RUI file) was loaded and I wanted to close it, so I navigated to Window > Toolbars and Macros. The dialog I got is so much unintuitive… I didn’t know where to start.
First of all I saw the toolbar in question with a (Needs Permission) tag. What the hell does that mean and how to grant it? Ok, I found it then: Right Click.. ok. Still I have no idea what “permission” I granted.
But then I wanted to close it and there is just no way to close it. Under File > Close RUI file is greyed out. Tja… what now McNeel? Same with default.rui. I am not able to close it? WTF
All in all a disappointing start with Rhino 9 Beta
The “Needs Permission” tag is about the file format, not access rights. It means the RUI file was saved by Rhino 7 or earlier, so editing it in 9 will upgrade it to a format Rhino 7 can’t open. I agree this needs better messaging.

I might need more info to narrow this down. Where is the Rui saved? is this from a plugin?
The RUI is from Rhino 7 and is part of a plugin created with the script compiler.
It’s saved to AppData/Roaming… it should be possible to turn that off.
But even the default.rui the close option is greyed out. So there is something wrong anyway.
I discussed this this afternoon with @CallumSykes and that limitation will be removed. He said currently this is disabled for default.rui and plugin rui’s.
