In Big Picture Mode, there isn't an estimated download time.

You're given a percentage, and download speed, but not a estimated time of completion.

Example:
2015-12-27-054144_1920x1080_scrot

Here's what it looks in the regular Steam interface:
2015-12-27-054036_1920x1080_scrot

As you can see, in the standard interface, there's the "TIME REMAINING" to indicate when the download will be completed.

Just a small thing that I would like to see.

UPDATE:

I've been using Big Picture mode on a daily basis now, and I have a few more suggestions:

  • Add a function to follow links posted in a chat massage with Steam Controller; with regular Steam chat I can simply click on a link and it will open with my default browser, but in Big Picture I cannot open these links with my Steam Controller.
  • Display when user is typing message; when in Big Picture chat, I cannot see when the person I'm speaking with is typing a message like I can in regular Steam chat.

The current BPM has a time estimation.
