Well, after three years since we started discussing the remake of the 2D backgrounds, Omzy crashed into the scene offering his amazing FacePalmer. Fact is, he's started med school and seems he has hard time getting back to it.
I don't have the know-how but I am sure several TA members do and Omzy gave his blessings to anyone who would expand on his work.
There are over 250 glitched textures (not such a big amount considering that there are originally more than 3000) that need fixing and I believe it's possible to apply filters to the .png files to make it look even better.
Would anyone be interested in pursuing this?
I am sorry I can not be of any direct help but I could be a tester.
Keep up the good work, guys!
UPDATE: Omzy himself made a come back and surprised us all with a new version!
