There is my unofficial backport of MATE 1.16( gtk2 version) for Jessie...however, the last few days, the OBS service is having some kind of bug where it doesn't show the automatically created link for the instructions to add the repo and its key. I think the link to the instructions still works, and is in a thread here about MATE 1.14.

Edit: I found the directions:

There's currently a known issue with a file conflict with some Jessie atril library if you upgrade from the Jessie MATE, but uninstalling the older file fixes it. I think I have it fixed in my MX build, and will load it into the OBS. Check this link to see when the new version has a successful build:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show ... 1.16/atrilIt's built against gtk2 as much as possible because of some known issues with GTK 3 themes on Jessie's version of GTK3.
Coincidentally, some people expressed an interest in doing an unofficial MATE respin of the Jessie-based MX Linux, so I'm currently porting the packages over to the MX-15 test repository (which also feeds MX 16). I've done most of the work on it, but will have to finish up tomorrow.
