Currently there seems to be no way to customize text boxes and buttons using the json template file, even though they are customizable in the GUI. Please add this ability and update the documentation so we know what the visualName would be for them.

text boxes and buttons are integral to building a fully functional reporting interface. Not being able to control the font via the theme hinders being able to offer the user alternate themes for the same report (e.g. light theme and dark theme depending on context)

Here are some basic changes that can be made. Tried to change the font, but could not get it to work though.
