class EditorGUITextField : EditorWindow
{

    static void Init()
    {
        var window = GetWindow<EditorGUITextField>();
        window.Show();
    }

    void OnGUI()
    {
        EditorGUI.DropShadowLabel(new Rect(0, 0, position.width, 20),
            "Select the objects to rename.");

        objNames = EditorGUI.TextField(new Rect(10, 25, position.width - 20, 20),
            "New Names:",
            objNames);

        if (Selection.activeTransform)
        {
            if (GUI.Button(new Rect(0, 50, position.width, 30), "Bulk rename!"))
            {
                foreach (Transform t in Selection.transforms)
                {
                    t.name = objNames;
                }
            }
        }
    }
