When I run plank dock in the terminal console I see the following errors popping up:

[WARN ...] [Preferences:192] '/usr/share/themes/io.elementary.stylesheet.blueberry/plank/dock.theme' is read-only!
[WARN ...] [Preferences:378] Missing key 'UrgentHueShift' for group 'PlankDockTheme' in preferences file '/usr/share/themes/io.elementary.stylesheet.blueberry/plank/dock.theme' - using default value

How to fix this?

To fix these two problems enter:

sudo chmod 666 /usr/share/themes/io.elementary.stylesheet.*/plank/dock.theme

Note with the * we´ll also catch the stylesheets banana, blueberry ... strawberry

The error:

Missing key 'UrgentHueShift' for group 'PlankDockTheme'

will be fixed as well since now plank can save the file and set the missing setting.

Well before I ran the "change file mode bits" I check with:

ls -al /usr/share/themes/io.elementary.stylesheet.blueberry/plank/dock.theme

the current settings:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2600 Apr 25 20:31 /usr/share/themes/io.elementary.stylesheet.blueberry/plank/dock.theme

So the file is owned by root (with read write access right) but used by user (in the group others last 'r--' with the read-only right)

Well some other approach is to change the owner from root to tux. (Replace tux with your username!)

sudo chown tux:tux /usr/share/themes/io.elementary.stylesheet.*/plank/dock.theme

Maybe this create some problems if apt-get ( or under the hood it`s dpkg doing the job) likes to update or remove these files but fails because of missing access permissions. However I have not tested if that is the case.
