I think if you right-click it and select “Save image as…” you have to add “.jar” to the file name and ALSO change the Type option below it from “PNG file” to “All files”.

The trick is that it’s ALSO a jar file! just rename it as a .jar. On Windows there’s the option to show file extensions, this way you can change .png to .jar! (you can also use the command line, “rename file.png file.jar” if i recall correctly). On Linux-based systems extensions are usually already visible. I don’t know about Macs though.

I’m having trouble downloading this, I get a .png and it’s actually a .png not a .jar file, please can someone help me?

That’s pretty clever.

Poking at the file, it looks like if you have a PNG as the first file in a JAR file, most programs will decode it as a PNG. Technically, the part of the file after the PNG is not valid PNG chunks, but nobody seems to care.
