You may take a look at how this is done in wm-icons package. It comes
with many icon sets and wm-icons-config script that manipulates symlinks,
like ~/.wm-icons/mini, ~/.wm-icons/norm, ~/.wm-icons/menu. All icons
names are mini/terminal.xpm, norm/terminal.xpm or menu/terminal.xpm
depending on where the icon should appear.

Another way is just to prepend another path into ImagePath, like:

  ImagePath $HOME/my-nice-icons:+

and continue to use your existing config (just create all used icons and
place them in ~/my-nice-icons/ directory). If you want to use png icons,
but your config lists xpm names that you don't want to change, do:

  ImagePath $HOME/my-nice-icons;png:+
