If there is a need for separate layout for different Kindles I suggest to start customizations with the bundled one, not any of the old hacked layouts.

The 31 key image labels used by the new Kterm version look OK on 600x800, 167 ppi kindles. But on higher resolution models (758x1024, 212ppi; 1072x1448, 300ppi) they look tiny.
So I've resized these 31 image files to 126% (for 212 ppi kindles) and to 179% (for 300 ppi kindles). Zip files attached:
- img_600x800_167ppi.zip (for kt1, kt2, kt3)
- img_758x1024_212ppi.zip (for pw1, pw2)
- img_1072x1448_300ppi.zip (for pw3, kv, koa)
Tested OK on pw1, pw3 and kt3. They look better now(pw1 and pw3).
baf has included a logic in the kterm.sh file which checks the resolution of the kindle and selects the appropriate layout files. But this has to be updated for the 300 ppi kindles. And also, of course, all the 3 sets of image files need to be available.
For now, just delete all the files in the img/ folder and replace them from the zip file appropriate to your kindle's resolution.
Some before/after screenshots attached to show the differences. In the first image, the differences for a PW1 are shown. The 1st column shows the default, shifted and function key shifted views with the existing key images. The 2nd column shows the same with the new key images. The second image shows the same comparison for the PW3.
