Installing Themes for Subsonic on Ubuntu

Hi,
I'm loving using Subsonic on Ubuntu 12.04. I run it as a service with /etc/init.d/subsonic and am trying to figure out how to install the facebookui 2.0 theme.
When I look in Synaptic it shows this list of file locations:

/.
/etc
/etc/default
/etc/default/subsonic
/etc/init.d
/etc/init.d/subsonic
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/subsonic
/usr/share/subsonic/subsonic-booter-jar-with-dependencies.jar
/usr/share/subsonic/subsonic.sh
/usr/share/subsonic/subsonic.war
/var
/var/subsonic
/var/subsonic/transcode
/var/subsonic/transcode/ffmpeg
/var/subsonic/transcode/lame


So I can figure that maybe it all needs to be bundled up in /usr/share/subsonic/subsonic.war
To be honest I'm not sure if this is the best way. I don't really want to mess with Subsonic 4.6 files as when 4.7 comes out I'll have to do it all again.

So question 1. How do I install themes with this setup?
Question 2. Should I just wait and with a bit of luck this theme will be rolled into the next release?

Cheers.

Brilliant, Chico has the right idea.
Quick guide for the folks who like numbered guides.

1. Terminal:
Code: Select all
sudo /etc/init.d/subsonic stop

2. Alt+F2 gksu nautilus
3. /var/subsonic/jetty/2585/webapp
4. Backup webapp (about 25MB of data).
5. Extract facebookui_theme_mod_rev2.0.zip to webapp folder
6. Merge, overwrite
7. Terminal
Code: Select all
sudo /etc/init.d/subsonic start

8. Firefox, http://localhost:4040
9. Subsonic interface, General, Default theme facebook ui. F5.
10 Profit.

Thanks for that BKKKPewsey. :D
