Is it possible to minimize entire today screen?

First off... how do you take a snapshot of your screen to post on the net? You can see what i'm talking about.

I'm running quite a few apps on the today screen and I was just wondering if it is possible to have just the background visiable untill you tap the screen. I dunno might sound like a stupid app but I think it would be neat... maybe something someone can work on if not yet made?
