I tried to find how to apply gradient colour to textbox item and after searching options from help and internet I found an answer from the social.msdn.microsoft.com forum site. There was told that gradient colour is possible only in chart and gauge report items.
Luckily there was suggestion to create chart and set it's backgroud, hide all the chart element so that only the gradient fill is seen. I tried that then.
I set BorderSkin (Skin Type) as Raised then it looked like more as buttons in the software what for this report was done. I also named this chart as BackButton. I put my button text to chart title, because I didn't know how to get my textitem over this chart.
I needed to fix appearance of my caption and also set docking properties so that it looked fine (1). DockOffset was set to 10 and Position as TopCenter.

Then I set Action for my button text to go back to main the report page.
There is still one thing I hadn't solved, how to hide that light gray line around the button.

The rogue "borderline" can be removed/hidden by placing the button in a single-cell tablix and setting the (tablix) border to solid and the (tablix) border colour to white.
