Description
Using CSS to style the webchat proves to be really difficult as elements do not have any proper class names when regular CSS is used to style the client. Targeting the attachment icon and still allow it to be turned on and off results in some horrific CSS selectors like;
Attachment Icon
.main > div:first-of-type:not(:only-of-type)
Submit Button
.main>form+div button
Below a screenshot of the (lack off) classes:

Start by locating the webchat markup for the attachment icon and submit button described in the issue. Add stable, proper class names so both controls can be targeted with regular CSS while retaining their existing on/off behavior. Done means custom styling no longer requires the shown structural selectors.
