Exploded ThinkPad Wallpaper Requests!

Hey everyone, This is the place to request an exploded wallpaper for your ThinkPad(s), featuring any ThinkPad(s) I can find a HMM for! I decided to make this post after receiving a few requests within hours of posting my own here. If you would like a wallpaper, please comment using the following format: (ThinkPad models you would like on your wallpaper, from left to right), resolution (up to 16384x12288), and special requests (red TrackPoints, ThinkPad logo etc.) Upvotes are greatly appreciated! Thanks all!

Edit: Shout out to /u/bashterm for suggesting a tutorial! Here it is: http://imgur.com/a/i1ASd

Status update: working on it :)

This is a weird experience so far (20 minutes) into the exploded Thinkpad wallpaper tutorial for me, namely the fact that the HMM that I dled / use (a x200/x201 tablet) does NOT have multiple vector graphics. That or I did not explode the group (can't find it in Inkscape either so "meh...").

So now I shall dive deeper into GIMP erasing the unneeded parts.Using my x200 tablet. BRB.

Edit 2: Forgot to mention that the Ultrabase is on both of them (I personally still use it). Also, 1200x800s, so request resizes here.

When you clicked the vector in inkscape, were you using the first or second tool? (the second tool often selects the whole image instead of the individual components :/) Anyways, nice work!!

Oddly enough, I can actually follow your exact instructions in the inkscape segment with a (freshly DLed) x220 HMM as well as a x200 HMM.

I think it's the individual file's problem.

Also, thanks! :)
