Switching to new GUI does not work and switching back not possible

I use Vensim PLE 10.0.1 on a Mac running OS 10.14.6.
I have tried switching to the new GUI which does not work. The only visual difference is that everything is horribly pixelish instead of vector graphics, but stocks, flows, clouds still look like the old GUI. I know how the new GUI is supposed to look from working with DSS at a former employer.
Moreover, the menue item that should allow me to switch back ot the old GUI is not there.
I also got a crash notice, when quitting Vensim to allow for the change to take affect.

Please tell me which file to manually edit to get back to the old GUI.

Best regards,
Max

MacOS 10.14? It's not even out yet I believe.

Edit the hidden file in your home folder called .venple, find the setting "NewGui". Change it to
NewGui=0,1,1,0,

Sorry, you can delete this post. My mistake. I failed to to notice that when reopening the file, it was opened on an old Vensim Pro version that I own...
