If you are talking about the Power BI UI as dark mode, then below are the two options:

 

1) Launch Power BI

Go to File > Options and settings > Options > Global > Report settings.


In the Personalization section / customize appearance, select the theme you want:


Default mode
Dark mode
Light mode
User system mode

 

2) If you have the enterprise / Aug 2024 edition and don't see this option, pls. uninstall and reinstall.

 

Aug 2024 Power BI does not have this option for me:
