As many others, I also want to get rid of the new device emulation ruler in Chrome/Chromium Dev Tools. But I still want to keep device emulation, because I need to have the website I work on at a specific resolution (more exactly at a specific width). However the rulers are just a distraction most of the time, and the interface is occupying valuable vertical screen space.

Unfortunately you can't at this time.
Thanks for the feedback though. We're working on a solution for hiding much of the UI when not needed – most likely, we'll start with a 'mini' mode that makes the rulers smaller and collapses emulation into a single row.
Work in progress can be seen here: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=409607 (also the best place for further feedback)
