Default Showing all active instruments in project?

edit: oh wow, I created this post in the wrong section, I wanted to create this in Tips subforum
Hi, is there any way to show the active instruments in the current project? It's easy to get lost in a large project, when trying to figure out where is the instruments and bypass them.

I know there is project bay, but it shows every FX in the project, would be far easier if there was an script or function to show only instruments (and make
possible to bypass them or go offline) in a tiny window, like (Yeeeeah) Cubase.

I'm just curious how I could script something like this. I have the mpl's script that selects all tracks that contains instruments, it has few lines of code, shouldn't be that dificult

Sure, you only have to
1) build GUI
2) which respond to mouse clicks
3) and store its window XY positions and size
4) which update data while script is open, but only with trigger to save performance especially on big projects
5) which is also looks nice on different platforms
6) build buttons there responding to mouse clicks and show realtime state of offline/bypass plugins state
7) optionally duplicate Cubase features here (dropdown preset name, 8 knob controls, freezing stuff, load/save menus etc)

Easy, few lines of code (sarkasm).
