how to run redshift automatically
I'd like to start redshift application automatically after boot in Ubuntu 16.04.
This can be done by creating a *.desktop file in .config/autostart. It leaves me with the terminal window open, though, which is very annoying.
I want to start redshift without an open terminal window. How do I do this?
my redshift.desktop currently looks like this:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Redshift
GenericName=Color temperature adjustment
Comment=Color temperature adjustment tool
Exec=redshift &
Icon=redshift
Terminal=true
Type=Application
NoDisplay=true
thank you!

You can install redshift-gtk which you can set to automatically start when your user logs in.
Run the following commands to install:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install redshift-gtk
Search for redshift in your applications and start it up and don't forget to set it to start automatically.
If you are a kde user, you can install plasma-applet-redshift-control instead:
sudo apt install plasma-applet-redshift-control

@Terrance answer works perfectly. I accepted your answer because I believe it is more useful to others having the same problem.

Change the line that says Terminal=true to Terminal=false. It does not need to start within the terminal like that
