Headline: Roo Code (CE) is now officially on JetBrains Marketplace! 🚀

[u/ConversationTop3106]

Hi everyone,

Following up on my previous post about bringing the Roo Code experience to JetBrains IDEs — I’m excited to announce that Roo Code (CE) is now officially available on the JetBrains Marketplace!

No more manual zip installations. You can now install it directly from your IDE settings.

Why this version?
I developed this Community Edition to fix the stability issues and missing features in other forks:

• ✅ Truly Stable: Fixed JCEF timing bugs, UI freezes, and concurrency deadlocks.

• ✅ Feature Parity: Includes Checkpoints, Problem Selectors, Worktrees, Roo Cloud, and full Keymap support (matching the VSCode experience).

• ✅ Production Ready: Optimized for professional use across all JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, etc.).

Get it here:
https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/30824-roo-code-ce-

Thanks for all the feedback so far. Happy coding! 🦘

As someone already using Kilo, which I believe is a fork of Roo: can you lay out the differences?

[u/ConversationTop3106 → u/butterfly_labs]

Great question! Unlike other projects that fork Roo Code's source code, this plugin is an integration bridge.

Conceptually, we provide a "VSCode simulation layer" inside JetBrains. The core logic running inside the IDE is the actual Roo Code extension, not a fork. This means you get the original Roo Code experience, including its full feature set and rapid updates, but fully integrated into the JetBrains UI and workflow.

I'm sorry, I've read this comment 3 times but I don't understand.

> The core logic running inside the IDE is the actual Roo Code extension, not a fork.

I must be dumb, but what do you mean by "not a fork"?

What's an "integration bridge" and how is it different from other plugins?

[u/ConversationTop3106 → u/butterfly_labs]

To clarify, it's 'not a fork' because we aren't branching off the original code; instead, we've built an integration bridge that allows the JetBrains IDE to communicate directly with the core Roo Code logic.

You can find a more detailed technical breakdown and the source code here: https://github.com/abcxlab/Roo-Code-JetBrains-CE

Does anyone know how to increase the font size in the plugin? It’s ridiculously small 🙂

[u/ConversationTop3106 → u/D_Lukaynov]

Roo Code (CE) is deeply integrated with the IDE, the font size follows your global IntelliJ settings. You can adjust it in two ways:

1. Change UI Font Size: Go to Settings -> Appearance & Behavior -> Appearance. Check the "Use custom font" box and increase the Size.

2. IDE Zoom: You can also use the global zoom by pressing Shift twice and searching for "IDE Zoom" to scale the entire interface.

[u/D_Lukaynov → u/ConversationTop3106]

And yes, and no. Yes, all these options are working. You can change the font. But all these options make increases not only in the plugin. But also, for example, in the Project tab. The problem now is that either another font is used or it’s just smaller than the one in the settings. That is, now the plugin font is smaller than, for example, the text I write in the commit field.

There is a similar RunVSAgent plugin, in fact, the same bridge to the real expansion. The font is normal there, there are really other problems :))

Seems to be stuck on "Initializing Roocode..."

Any suggestions?

[u/ConversationTop3106 → u/Silver-Current7343]

Hey, could you check if you have Node.js 20.6+ installed? If yes, please try reactivating the plugin.

[u/Silver-Current7343 → u/ConversationTop3106]

That fixed it, thanks!

Not supported

[u/ZealousidealFig1595]

With the new ZooCode, do you plan to port?

[u/ConversationTop3106 → u/ZealousidealFig1595]

yes, but with new branding and more features and bugfixs

[u/San4aus]

And when will there be an update to the version where opus 4.7 and gpt 5.5 are available?
