Have you tested these templates in Dev tools → Template?
Can you test with a simple ONE tab inside tabbed-card, containing one Picture-elements with ONE icon and w/o these templates?
Sure, but people here are mainly not interested in finding differences, this is YOUR work to present a task in a clear form.
And this a short example which you may use:
type: custom:mod-card
card_mod:
style: |
ha-card {
background: cyan;
}
card:
type: custom:tabbed-card
attributes:
icon: mdi:circle
tabs:
- card:
type: picture-elements
elements:
- type: state-icon
entity: sun.sun
style:
top: 50%
left: 50%
"--card-mod-icon-color": var(--some-var)
image: /local/images/test/orange.jpg
card_mod:
style: |
ha-card {
--some-var: red;
}
attributes:
label: xxx
Just provide your own simple background image.
