Please tell me. How can I change the mouse cursor theme to something more familiar as Breeze, DMZ for example?
The system is very good, but there is no limit to perfection.

I dunno what those themes offer as neither is available for Moksha. But you could take a look at the mouse cursors available in the Moksha themes and see if you like any.
1. Download all the bodhi themes.
sudo apt install -y bodhi-theme-* 2. Make sure your mouse cursor is set to use one from Moksha theme
Settings Panel --> Input --> Mouse
3. Try each theme one at a time to look at the cursor, noting the theme name(s) of the ones that have mouse cursors you like.
Settings Panel --> Look --> Theme
Go down the list, pick a theme then apply, then look at your cursor, then the next then apply, etc. When you know which theme's mouse cursor you want to use, set theme back to whichever you were using before.
4. Use advanced theme settings to assign the pointer theme to the one you want (from another Moksha theme). Settings Panel --> Look --> Theme --> Advanced --> Pointer
<Select Theme> --> Assign --> Apply
You may be wondering why not just try every cursor from advanced theme settings. You certainly can. It just takes longer.
Another alternative may be to use the X mouse cursor. Dunno if its theme-able.
Alternatively you could learn to edit Moksha themes and change the mouse cursor in an existing theme, or create your own theme. This is not trivial tho.

The right way. But it doesn't work on all apps. I found a better option.(imho).
Settings Panel --> Input --> Mouse--> X Сopy the folder with the desired theme to usr/share/icons/Sweet-cursors Edit file usr/share/icons/default/index.theme - to change Inherits=Sweet-cursors. Reboot.
Errors, blinking, disappearing and other failures in the cursor behavior have not yet been detected.
Thank you so much for your help.
