usability: give status and instructions in progress bar #42

I split the #36 issue by @GamesOpenSource in two, this one to track the usability issue:

Also, the area at the bottom contains no content - only if you press the download icon (which is in the screenshot replaced by the play icon) then that area contains information.

Not sure whether these are technological or usability issues.

I agree it would be good to give instructions, like displaying "click the download button to start the download →" in the progress bar until the user clicks it.

We may do the same to tell the download is complete and to tell people to play the game within that bar instead of a text that quickly disappear in the bottom…
