 Many of theme developers are styling mediaelement to their preference and
 this is a first step when they do so;


 {{{
 /*
  * use theme mediaelement CSS
  */
 wp_deregister_style('mediaelement');
 wp_deregister_style('wp-mediaelement');
 }}}


 that disables the default CSS and lets us use our own. Issue with this is
 that
 buttons, imgareaselect and media-views CSS files depend on these and if
 anyone is using a frontend page builder or anything that needs media
 library in frontend, these 3 CSS files are not present.

 My first tought was


 {{{
 /*
  * since we have deregistered medialement style
  * make sure media dependencies are loaded
  * in case of frontend editros
  */
 if( is_user_logged_in() ){

         wp_enqueue_style( 'buttons' );
         wp_enqueue_style( 'imgareaselect' );
         wp_enqueue_style( 'media-views' ) ;

 }
 }}}


 but to my surprise media-views which is a key CSS file for media library
 is not loading since it is a dependent.

 I know that I can do the direct enque but since we have a handle we should
 be able to use it independently from other styles.

 While we are at it, why are we loading mediaelement CSS files at the
 bottom of body

 CSS files should always be in head.
