Looks like stack needs to be displayed in this mode:
Stack.setDisplayMode("composite");

My problem is that it is not always easy to analyze the colocalizations of 3 or 4 antigens in "color" or "grayscale" mode, and I often prefer to alternate views of single and multiple channels in "composite" mode. However, this requires to constantly move the mouse over the channel tools window to switch on and off channels.

This macro set defines keyboard shortcuts for switching on and off individual channels:
macro "Toggle Channel 1 [1]" {Stack.toggleChannel(1);}
macro "Toggle Channel 2 [2]" {Stack.toggleChannel(2);}
macro "Toggle Channel 3 [3]" {Stack.toggleChannel(3);}
macro "Toggle Channel 4 [4]" {Stack.toggleChannel(4);}
macro "Toggle Channel 5 [5]" {Stack.toggleChannel(5);}
macro "Toggle Channel 6 [6]" {Stack.toggleChannel(6);}
macro "Toggle Channel 7 [7]" {Stack.toggleChannel(7);}
It requires the latest ImageJ daily build (1.49a6), which adds the Stack.toggleChannel() macro function. After installing this macro set, typing "1" is equivalent to clicking on "Channel 1" in the "Channels" dialog, typing "2" is equivalent to clicking on "Channel 2", etc. Add these macros to ImageJ/macros/StartupMacros.txt and they will be installed when ImageJ starts up.
