If you could the image would be disorted and look a lot shallower than it actually is.

Yes, there are some shortcomings with the use of the new shader made by the TDW. It is a bit experimental and that's why we made it optional.
As for future development, I don't think that water distortios are going to be ever possible. Maybe (just guessing) TheDarkWraith could find the a way to make caustics on the seabottom visible when looking across the water (incidentally even seaplants are currently not visible). These fx, together with a slight reduction of the sea surface trasparency could greatly improve the realism but again:
1. I am not sure the fixes that I am suggesting are technically possible. Most probably they aren't (I didn't discuss personally with TDW).
2. Even if they are possible, our TDW is busy with many other projects...
so I think we must be greateful to him with what we have just now
!
P.S. I'm going out now, later I'll make a post about the climate/weather system implemented in v. 2.0. It is important you all know what you can expect fron our mod and to report here if/how it affects the gameplay, so that we can finetune it.
