Hey all!

I'm one of the moderators over a r/ModelM, and I thought this might be of interest to some here due to crossover of interests. I've been working on an IBM keyboard pixel art wallpaper generator for a few weeks now, and it's become quite mature enough for use. Feel free to have a play around with it and let me know what you think - constructive criticism is welcome!

Currently, these are your customisation options. I've highlighted the ones most applicable to y'all at r/ThinkPad:

Keyboard family filters: Model B only, Model F only, Model M + extended family only, ThinkPad/TrackPoint only, buckling springs only, capacitive switches only
Lots of resolutions: from 1024x768 to 3840x2160, I even got the retro, 4:3, and 16:10 gangs covered.
Vertical/phone portrait generation option
A few solid backgrounds: transparent, "dark" (#333333), "light" (#E1E1E1) and custom
Basic ordering: randomised, ascending or descending approximate time period order (loops after each completion on high resolutions)
Row staggering
Specific keyboard colour tone: dark (good for ThinkPad/TrackPoint themed wallpapers) and light
Remove keypads and sub-60% keyboards
Random skips

Some final notes:

Feel free to use and modify results as you please. If you want to rehost results on your website or blog though, I'd appreciate some credit.
Big credit and kudos to sealcouch of geekhack for the inspiration behind the icons themselves.
Pending the lack of custom background options, you can of course overlay a transparent result over an image of your choosing. If you have Photoshop or GIMP, this will be a piece of cake. Although, you can even do this in mspaint; open up your background, copy a transparent result in using "Paste from", immediately click "Select", click "Transparent select", align.
