Hello,
I understand the issue, the point is that your "Add to cart" and "Choose options" button have the same Class, and so like this it's impossible to use Css in order to create Css command that don't impact the "Add to cart".
Now you have a solution, via an override view (html & php knowledge required), you can add another Css class, in the "add_to_cart_ajax" view if you use the new ajax add to cart feature.
If you use the legacy mode, the view will be the "quantity_legacy".
Note : have a look on
this documentation
to see how to proceed an override view.
In your add_to_cart_ajax view around line 140, you will see this :
And so, with this you will be able to add via this
new class different Css command from the "
Add to cart" button.
Hope this will help you.
Regards
