Overview

Add Big Picture Mode like Steam Big Picture/SteamOS

Smaller details

I've made quick 1 hour design using Figma, its a rough idea of how i think big picture mode should look. i have no idea how programming works, but i hope my feature request make sense to implement

Home :

Overlay :

Alternative with Blur effect ( Not really recomended because i think this would slow down emulation ) :

Settings :

Some of recomendation features that i think out of topics yet Improve big picture mode

Start Big Picture mode from launch
On screen Keyboard for Inputing text using controller

Nature of request

Improving Access to Game library for Controller Users.

Why would this feature be useful?

This Feature would be huge quality of life improvement for people using Steamdeck/Steam big picture mode and controller users because how intuitive it would be if you dont need mouse to select game.

I appreciate you taking the time to create mockups of a design, but this is not something I'm going to be adding.

Avalonia doesn't support controller input. That's the biggest blocker.
But even if it did, the best implementations of features come from people who actually want them, and want to work on them. And I'd literally never use this feature.

There are many tools out there which provide this functionality anyways (externally) without needing to bother with adding this emulator-side.
