To hide the top bar, install the "Hide Top Bar" extension using GNOME Extension Manager. After installation, this extension will auto-hide the top bar.
To permanently disable the Ubuntu dock, go to Extension Manager and disable the "Ubuntu Dock" extension. This will completely remove the dock from your desktop.
You can also auto-hide the dock by navigating to "Display Settings", and enabling the "Auto-Hide the Dock" option under the "Appearance" settings.
