thank you!
yea thats possible by doing custom css based on the current page:
https://laytheme.com/documentation/custom-css-styling.html#css-based-on-current-page
so for a certain category you would write css that changes the hover animation
example:
body.slug-work .thumb .ph{
background-color: green!important;
}
body.slug-work .thumb:hover img{
opacity: 0.5!important;
}
you'll need to be able to write css and use the chrome element inspector
