Apple announced a new Dark Mode for Xcode 10. I've downloaded the beta but now I can't find any option to turn it on. I'm currently on macOS 10.13 High Sierra.

On macOS 10.13 High Sierra and earlier

The Dark Mode is only available on macOS 10.14 Mojave.

On macOS 10.14 Mojave and later

1. On Installation: You'll get asked for the appearance as part of the installation of Mojave.

2. After Installation: If you want to change it afterwards go to System Preferences > General and change the Appearance.

2b. On macOS Catalina: You get even a third option to change the appearance automatically based on your Nightshift preferences.
