Shy other Layers (littleHelper)

Dirty code, but who cares - if it works.
littleHelper.jsx
This script is meant to help people like me who have little screens and a huge number of layers in the timeline. The small UI allows you to select all layers in the comp, select none, view as wireframe ('draft') mode, toggle shy mode (yes I know there's a button for that on the timeline, but it's not always next to your mouse) and most importantly a button which allow to shy all other layers (you can select the object in the window
