When I'll have some time I'll give it a go and see if it improves usability. Many thanks.

With pleasure It's somewhat broken at the moment though. I'll fix it once I got rid of all the deprecation warnings.

Although I too prefer GTK2, I found that Basilisk compiled with GTK3 actually performed better on my primary desktop than Basilisk compiled with GTK2. Just an anecdote, but figured I'd mention it regardless. It did use very slightly more RAM (like maybe 25 MB) but it performed noticeably better.

I noticed the same in Pale Moon, actually, but maybe this can be improved. It would be interesting to retest Basilisk after modernizing the GLib, Pango, GdkPixbuf, and Cairo integration in gtk2-ng.
