It would be very nice to have the lines "void TestClass::method1()" and "void TestClass::method2()" colored or marked in some special way, so the reader can immediately see where methods start.
having used VIM under UNIX for years, I am in the habit of having nice obvious comment blocks (with a line of star's at the top and bottom of the comment) at the start of each function for exactly this reason.
if you select different colours for types and functions in VA options, I have types in blue and functions in FF8000 (a shade of orange) then you get a contrast between the two which helps draw attention to these lines.
beyond this, we are unlikely to ever do this specific change.
I use comment blocks for methods only in the header file because they explain how the method should be used (explaining the arguments, constraints,etc.). I write implementation specific comments directly into the code in the cpp-file. Do you create comment blocks in the header file *and* in the cpp-file? Lot of work to keep them in sync, isn't it?
I know, I could write separators like
//-----------------------------
between the methods to make the code more readable. Actually, I hoped such things wouldn't be necessary anymore in the year 2006 :-)
