To what extent we can customize app if application.css is ignored on Splunk 6.0 and above?

Hi Experts,

I am aware that we can create and customize a new app and as per below document

http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.1.4/AdvancedDev/UseCSS

But application.css is ignored by splunk 6.0 and above .So my questions are

1) How to hide the Create New Dashboard
2) Ho I can customize app bar or nav bar.
3) Rather changing color from Nav xml do we have any other choice .?
4) If application.css is not supported by Splunk 6.0 or above then why we still have this document provided by Splunk. stating that we can customize app from application.css

Thanks in advance

Thanks
VG

The following document contains Migration Issues from Splunk Enterprise version 5.x to 6
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.1.4/AdvancedDev/Migration

A brief summary of changes:

application.css and application.js apply only to advanced XML apps.

Use dashboard.css and dashboard.js for simple XML apps.

View states are not supported in simple XML apps.

JavaScript is no longer available in nav menus.

App Bar styling is restricted to only color and logo.

Search page restyling is no longer supported.

I am not sure if you can hide the Create New Dashboard in version 6.1

The UseCss page you referred to was overlooked in the docs during the update for these migration issues. I plan to update that document soon. Apologies for the confusion.

From the other VG.
