How to set a Wordpress static html front page

How to set a Wordpress static html front page

I'm trying to set a wordpress static html front page, which doesn't seem trivial.
I tried three approaches:
1) add a index.html, and rename index.php to blog.php. Change the permalink into custom: /blog.php?p=%postid%. However for handling categories, the generated link is /blog.php?p=cat=3.
2) add a index.html, and rename index.php to blog.php. Change the installation position into www.mydomain.com/blog.php in my dashboard. This time it direct to www.mydomain.com/blog.php/?p=123.
3) add a page and set it to be displayed as frontpage in my dashboard/settings/reading. However for this solution, I don't know how to change the overall html of a page edited in wordpress. I can only modify the html for the body but I need to change it whole.
Any suggestions?
