No, halo along hinge edge, just along latch edge extending to top and
bottom.
From the experiment of simply pulling on the door to close it more
tightly and having the halo extinguish suggests that an adjustment
that accomplishes closing the door more tightly will suffice, and is
actually more preferable to me.
