I finally managed to get those great Crystal++ Theme working
Here's the HowTo on that.
1.) get the zip of Notepad++
2.) unzip into a folder on your portable device [f.e. G:\portableapps\notepad++]
3.) get the crystal++ theme exe, extract it to a temporary folder [C:\temp\crystal]
4.) edit the delivered toolbarIcon.xml, replace "E:\Sources\notepad++\PowerEditor\bin\newIcons\" with ".\Icons\" in the tag <Theme name = "Crystal++" pathPrefix = "E:\Sources\notepad++\PowerEditor\bin\newIcons\"> save that file for now
5.) that tag must look like that: <Theme name = "Crystal++" pathPrefix = ".\Icons\">
6.) copy that toolbarIcon.xml into your notepad++ folder [in our case: G:\portableapps\notepad++]
7.) Afterwards copy the folder Icons from the extracted crystal++ theme into that same directory [G:\portableapps\notepad++]
8.) You are good to go, Icons should apply, and as far as I can tell it's portable after all [used relative paths after all!]
hope that helped ANYONE

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Unfortunately this did not work for me. I am using the Portableapps.com version (4.2.2) and the icons only work if I open the exe file directly. If I use the portable exe launcher then I only get the standard icons. I tried putting the modified xml and Icons folder in the root folder where the launcher is located and in the folder where the actual N+++ exe if located (Not at the same time) but it did not make a difference.
Is anyone else having this isssue?

No need for portable apps version. Include empty file: doLocalConf.xml in the directory and all config files will load from current directory. (Download the .zip version instead of the installer.)

Addition:
in the extracted folder of your notepad++ executable MUST be a
doLocalConf.xml
file without any content [o Byte file] otherwise notepad++ tries to load it's files from %APPDATA%
