Splunk 6.5+ How to hide options Messages, Activity, and Help menu

I need help for customizing the menu messages, activity, and help menu on Splunk 6.5+

The older version can be done by using application.css and put it at /etc/apps//appserver/static/application.css. And call the application.css in dashboard xml with stylesheet=application.css. But somehow this way of customizing is not working on Splunk 6.5+, anybody can help with this kind of customization?

Appreciate it.

.....
</form>

but since it is not working on Splunk version 6.5.0, then i need another way to do it.
It will be great if you can tell me another way. Thank you cmerriman.
