Changing Mouse Cursor Icon from Adwaita to Classic X11 Mouse Cursor

Hello there folks! Are there some ways to change my mouse cursor icon from Adwaita to the classic one that's still pre-included in Slackware & some BSD distros as examples?

I tried looking for various of webpages to teach myself how to get the classic X11 mouse cursor, except I don't see any webpages showing me how to do it. Can somebody who is viewing this forum page help me find a guide to get the classic X11 mouse cursor on Artix Linux if they are able to do so?

I wish my best regards to have someone give me the solution on how to get the classic X11 mouse cursor.

What I am trying to mean is that I technically know how to change my mouse cursor icon in general on Linux, but my point out is that I'm having a hard time looking for the classic black xcursor (no shadows included) theme.

ok, so look here https://store.kde.org/browse/cat/107/ord/rating/ lot of cursors here, maybe you will like ;-)

maybe some as this https://store.kde.org/p/999964/
I'm specifically looking for the classic default X11 mouse cursor.

I saw these three as attempts of looking for the default X11 mouse cursor theme before making this forum post.
https://store.kde.org/p/1290398/ (not the cursor theme I was looking for)
https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1339462/ (I thought that was the default classic X11 mouse cursor (it looks pretty exactly like it) used in Slackware and FreeBSD. The shadows makes the conclusion otherwise.).

@Edgar486, how about this old redhat cursor theme?

That's not the cursor theme I was looking for. While it is the similar to the mouse cursor theme I was looking for, it still has shadows, and the inline color is dark blueish if you look closely enough.

Ok....how about xcursor-retrosmart found in aur here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xcursor-retrosmart/

It contains black or white versions with no shadows and no color. :-)

Best regards.
