I would use shortcuts for this purpose, e.g. as described here http://www.lytebyte.com/2008/01/31/how-to-minimize-and-maximize-windows-using-keyboard-shortcuts-in-xp-and-vista/ to minimize and maximize the applications. I don't know the code to make a window invisible as in the screen-capture mode. I don't think there is a python way to do this, you probably have to use some java code.

I think this is the right sourcefile https://github.com/sikuli/sikuli/blob/develop/sikuli-ide/src/main/java/org/sikuli/ide/CaptureButton.java look at line 177-200.
I think the invisibility is done with a simple JFrame.setVisible(false)
I don't know how to embed this into a sikuli script but I think there is a tutorial somewhere here.

Java classes can be imported and used in Sikuli scripts as you like, since Sikuli scripts are run through Jython interpreter.

So you might transpose nearly all Java code to Jython code useable in Sikuli scripts.

Can you help with this problem?
