  • $\begingroup$ Um... you can customize the UI without building Blender from custom source code. $\endgroup$

Reset to default

Adjust the layout the way you want it to be, then use File->Save Startup File.

Locate the startup.blend that was saved and place it in release/datafiles/startup.blend within the source tree used to build your copy of blender.

    $\begingroup$ The default startup.blend begins as a startup file that has been saved with blender, during the build process it is used to generate a c file (startup.blend.c) that you can find inside the build directory, which contains an array containing a binary representation of the file, This c-file is used to compile the default startup.blend within blender's binary file. $\endgroup$

You can save your current file, including preferences and window layout as startup file by selecting File > Save Startup File or hitting Ctrl + U
