Speaking of this plugin, there's already a 1.1 but it looks like releases are going to slow down.

1.1 is supposed to re-implement a DOF filter on distant terrain so it retains the blur effect the original game has, but without the pixelation. I have to say, despite still failing to get into this game, he's made it look extra pretty:
