GUI won't activate Redshift

I just installed Redshift (See here and it works fine when I activate it in the terminal.

But when I try to automate it, using System tools Session & Startup, for some reason it won’t work at all. See this screenshot.

Has anyone else encountered this problem?
To note, I tried this after I ran the Qubes Live Mode script.

Whether or not this is the cause of the problem, is there any other way I can autostart redshift whenever I login?

You can try to create another shortcut to see if is related to Redshift, or try to create the file manually, check the permissions…

Hi. Sorry for the late reply but I did indeed make a .desktop file manually and it worked. Thank you.
