Kobo glo white border around frame on black background

Hi, I recently found an old Kobo Glo. It's a very nice device, comfortable to read. However, I'm curious about one thing: I installed a nickelmenu to read on a black background. Now, on that black background, I see white borders around the bezels. Is this normal for this model, or is there something wrong with my screen?

Turn off reverse/night mode and then see how it looks.
