Hi Avek,
Yes, this is always automatic now.
I'll quote this from another reply I made about depth range:
This functionality has moved to "Fixed depth palettes", which allow the same depth range to be applied to different maps/layers more easily. You need to create a new palette (you can clone an existing one now), check the "Fixed depth range" option and then the min/max depth. You can also (optionally) add extra colours for above or below the max/min (e.g. a land colour for < 0).
Take a look at the first page in the new manual ("What's new in ReefMaster 2.0"), there is a section at the bottom with some key issues when migrating from v1 to 2. We will be writing a more comprehensive migration guide before the full release of v2.
