I've just updated Spyder to version 3.1 and I'm having trouble changing the colour scheme to dark. I've been able to change the Python and iPython console's to dark but the option to change the editor to dark is not where I would expect it to be. Could anybody tell me how to change the colour scheme of the Spyder 3.1 editor to dark?

Thankfully, we will be getting the full dark theme mode interface with the release of the Spyder 4 version which has been stated by a Spyder maintainer over at Stack Overflow for release in late 2019.
A full-interface dark theme has been a long awaited feature, and is enabled by default in Spyder 4. You can still select the light theme under Preferences > Appearance by either choosing a light-background syntax-highlighting scheme, or changing Interface theme to Light .
Go to "Tools" and "Preferences" and then "Syntax coloring". There are a handful of preset themes. There is also an option to create a custom theme if you don't find any of the defaults aesthetically pleasing (I know I didn't).
If you're using Spyder 3, please go to
Tools > Preferences > Syntax Coloring
and select there the dark theme you want to use.
In Spyder 4, a dark theme is used by default. But if you want to select a different theme you can go to
Tools > Preferences > Appearance > Syntax highlighting theme
