Chia-Ying,

We hopefully have a solution for you. Please download the IDV nightly build 
here: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/idv/nightly/index.jsp

We have added an option to the IDV where labels can be "flat" relative to the 
axis. In the map display, go to view -> properties, and select the horizontal 
scale tab. There is a check box option called "Axis label relief". When it is 
off, the label is flat relative to the axis and the blue marble does not 
obscure the labels. Please experiment with this option.

Keep us up-to-date on your progress.

Best Wishes,

Unidata IDV Support
