I want a three column theme, but not like any I have seen. From left to right, I want a wide column, another equally wide column, and then a narrow column. I would like to do this with minimal editing of template code.

I really like the "Dark Blue" theme, but I don't think I can set it up like this. I also like the "News Flash" template, but I'm not sure if that would work either. I wonder if the "Zen Theme" would allow me to do this?

You do not say what goes in the three columns, in general terms Drupal themes support a "left" and "right" sidebar plus the content area. So the question is, where does the content go? The Fusion theme allows you to place the columns and size them directly from the theme configuration page.

Sorry. I was going to put content in the first two columns.

With Drupal one of the regions (columns) is meant to hold the main content, that is the content associated with the path you are at. Other columns typically hold blocks.

to set the column width should edit the css or page.tpl. Rarely there are themes which provide the facility to change the column width

I suggest nineSixty theme. http://drupal.org/project/ninesixty
This theme is available as Zen subtheme too. For pro project ;)

Afterburner (http://www.rockettheme.com/drupal-downloads/free/1370-afterburner)
Quick and quite good variant!
Based on "holy grail"

http://drupal.org/project/Zenophile lets you specify which order your columns are in and how wide they are when you create a sub theme
