Put the cover under the lamp. Each of the five things that made it work is a layer you can switch on: the words, the grid it sits on, the colours it uses, the subject, the light.
Only Salah... A large suspenseful headline with an ellipsis creates a "only him" uniqueness that makes people want to click and see why.

Keep all five layers and swap what’s under them: your shop, your budget, your city. You get four covers and the post text.
Verbatim. Copy it, or let Queenie swap in your own details.
Based on the reference cover's composition, visual metaphor, and WeChat public-account thumbnail readability, generate a new WeChat public-account horizontal cover. Output size: 1456x582, ratio about 2.5:1; the core subject and necessary title information should also work within WeChat's safe square crop. WeChat article title: {填写公众号文章标题} Intro: {填写简介} Original cover method: Only Salah style dual skills Create a horizontal WeChat public-account article cover, 2.35:1 aspect ratio, for an article titled "Only Salah". Central concept: distill a single visual metaphor around "Only Salah"; avoid cramming the whole article into the image. Style: preserve the reference cover's visual direction: high-saturation poster/tech ad visuals. Use a palette inspired by #080705 (black), #501f17 (charcoal), #040404 (black), #1b0b09 (black). Keep the image editorial, conceptual, and readable as a small WeChat thumbnail. Composition: dark background with strong atmosphere, suited to a single glowing focal point, a character silhouette, or a central metaphorical object. Keep the main subject and any essential title text inside the safe square crop, while using the full wide frame for atmosphere, secondary symbols, or directional motion. Text strategy: use either no text or a very short headline fragment from the title. If text is used, make it large, clean, and integrated into the layout rather than pasted on top. Mood: match the article skill "Only Salah style dual skills" -- useful, sharp, high-signal, and slightly more memorable than a normal tutorial thumbnail. Avoid: photorealistic clutter unless the source cover is photo-led, fake logos, unreadable tiny text, generic gradient blobs, stock-office imagery, watermark-like marks, and literal screenshots unless the article is explicitly about software interfaces.
