  • Click the Show Protected Members button to have protected class members shown in the tree.

  • Click the Show Private Members button to have private class members shown in the tree.

You can also see the VCS status color hints in the Structure tool window if your project is under version control. It helps you to make tracking changes in files more convenient. The names of modified objects become blue, and the names of the newly added objects appear in the tool window highlighted in green.
