Create a module and create an xml file named base.xml in the following path disable_developer_mode/static/src/xml/base.xml (where disable_developer_mode is the new module created) and add the following to the base.xml file.
<templates id="base.template" xml:space="preserve">
<t t-extend="ViewManagerAction">
<t t-jquery="select.oe_debug_view" t-operation="replace">
<select t-if="self.session.uid === 1 and self.session.debug" class="oe_debug_view"/>
</t>
</t>
</templates>
Here self.session.uid === 1 is given where 1 is the id of the admin, if it is different in your system check the database and edit it. Add the base.xml file in the disable_developer_mode's __openerp__.py file as the folowing
{
'name': 'Disable Developer Mode',
'version': '0.1',
'category': 'Others',
'sequence': 20,
'summary': 'Disable Developer Mode',
'description': """

""",
'author': 'Gopakumar N G',
'website': 'http://zbeanztech.com/blogs/nggopakumar',
'images': [],
'depends': ['base'],
'data': [],
'demo': [],
'test':[],
'installable': True,
'application': False,
'js': [],
'css' : [],
'qweb' : ["static/src/xml/base.xml"]
}
Update your module and restart the server, now the debugging drop-down box will not be shown for all users except admin.
