If you want to:

1. Display Menu only when open a ipython notebook.
2. Add a Menu to hide/unhide input cells.
3. Disable the in/out prompt each cell.

you can following below steps:

1. Change custom.css to disable the in/out cell prompt

    ~/.ipython/profile_default/static/custom/custom.css

   Add below content:

   .prompt{
       display: None;
   }
   

2. Change custom.js to disable toolbar & header line by default.

    ~/.ipython/profile_default/static/custom/custom.js

   Content as below:

   code_show=true;
   function code_toggle() {
    if (code_show){
        $('div.input').hide();
    } else {
        $('div.input').show();
    }
    code_show = !code_show
   }
   $([IPython.events]).on('app_initialized.NotebookApp', function(){
       $("#view_menu").append("
   Toggle Inputs
   ")
       $('div#header').show()
       $('div#maintoolbar').hide()
       $('div#ipython_notebook').hide()
       $('span#save_widget').hide()
       $('span#kernel_logo_widget').hide()
   });
   

3. Restart your notebook server to take effect.
