Hello,
I want to customize my app in Splunk 6.0 .
What I want is to
1) Hide nav bar
2) I do not want to show create new dashboard option to my user .

I read some documents on app customization which were referring to application.css and some blogs and ans on splunk community which says that this application.CSS is no more supported in splunk 6 and above.
Please suggest how I achieve the above mentioned tasks

Thanks in Advance

Try dashboard.css instead. That is the Splunk 6 equivalent of application.css.

You can hide the apps nav bar with this:

.app-bar{
    display:none;
}

I'm not sure what "New Dashboard" button you are referring to but you can hide the dashboard controls with this:

.splunk-dashboard-controls{
   display: none;
}
