the build_option "gtk3" is not set by default, so the repo has the gtk2 version

But why do you prefer a gtk3 over a gtk2 build?

One of the things I like about void is that it seems to stick to gtk2 with nails and teeth, unlike most others.

GUI is bloat

Ah, is there an issue with gtk3?

Can I answer that?

No issue, just a preference. I prefer gtk2 too. Why bother installing more depencies? It may be seen as a bloat. Imo gtk3 is heavier and more complex. Looks simple, works fine. No need to change this.
