Customizing Page Transitions

I just watched this tutorial about page transition (How to Webflow: Page transitions - Tutorial (2019) - YouTube — thanks for putting it together Pixel Geek, this is great) and I have a few questions, maybe someone could help me with.

  1. If I want to customize the transition in a way that different links would have different overlay colors, what would be the best way to achieve that?

  2. If users go directly to a secondary page like About, for instance, not coming from the landing page, is there any way I could disable the “on page load” transition or add a conditional to skip it in those instances?
