[Tex/LaTex] How to surround fixme notes with brackets

fixme

I am using the fixme package for inserting notes in my LaTeX documents. The note text is by default bold, and I've enabled colors using \fxsetup{theme=color}. However, I would like to have even more separation from the surrounding text, especially on a black&white printouts.

Does the package itself support surrounding the text with (for example) square brackets.

I've checked the fixme manual, but I am getting lost in non-familiar terminology such as 'targets' and 'faces'.

For example, in the following example I would like the resulting PDF text 'FiXme Note: Something's wrong here' to be displayed in the PDF as either '[Fixme Note: Something's wrong here]' or 'Fixme Note: [Something's wrong here]' (both are fine with me).

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[nomargin,inline,marginclue,draft]{fixme}
\begin{document}
   An apple is a pear \fxnote{Something's wrong here}
\end{document

How about this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}% provides \colorlet
\usepackage{fixme}
\fxsetup{
    status=draft,
    author=,
    layout=inline,
    theme=color
}

\definecolor{fxnote}{rgb}{0.8000,0.0000,0.0000}
% define the background colour:
\colorlet{fxnotebg}{yellow}

% refedine the layout macro:
\makeatletter
\renewcommand*\FXLayoutInline[3]{%
  \@fxdocolon {#3}{%
    \@fxuseface {inline}%
    \colorbox{fx#1bg}{\color {fx#1}\ignorespaces #3\@fxcolon #2}}}
\makeatother

\begin{document}

Some text \fxnote{other text} \fxnote*{blub}{blah}

\end{document}

EDIT: Here is a version that uses \hl from the soul package:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}% provides \colorlet
\usepackage{soul}% provides \hl

\usepackage{fixme}
\fxsetup{
    status=draft,
    author=,
    layout=inline,
    theme=color
}

\definecolor{fxnote}{rgb}{0.8000,0.0000,0.0000}
% define the background colour:
\colorlet{fxnotebg}{yellow}

% refedine the layout macro:
\makeatletter
\renewcommand*\FXLayoutInline[3]{%
  \@fxdocolon {#3}{%
    \@fxuseface {inline}%
    \begingroup
      \sethlcolor{fx#1bg}%
      \color {fx#1}\ignorespaces \hl{#3\@fxcolon #2}%
    \endgroup}}
\makeatother

\begin{document}

Some text \fxnote{other text} \fxnote*{blub}{blah}

Some Text \fxnote{A somewhat longer note that is long enough to break into the next line
for demonstration purposes} and some more text.

\end{document}

\end{document}
