[themes] Questions for newbies

what i need to do is a simple page, but i need a drop-down menu. I have already used the Nice Menus module, but it seems to NEVER fit with any free template. And my question is: is that normal? Do i have to look better for a template for my Nice Menu? or do i have to write code? thanks Ana,

P.S. As i dont really want to program, i have started testing if any theme fits my necessities. So far, when trying themes, sometimes i find that i need more columns, or that the templates does not have a header where to place the Nice Menu, BUT sometimes i find that primary links cannot be move, ¿is that possible? ¿or i misunderstood? ¿can that be changed or does it need code to be added?
